·5 minute Fix if nothing is broken.
I actually haven't worn it in awhile and when I decided to I do something completely stupid and drop the watch. I had it serviced about 3 years ago and it was purring like a kitten .

·It is likely that the minute hand has tilted upwards and touched the second hand. This will take more than five minutes. Everything needs to be investigated even if it still ticking nicely, which doesn't mean the watch will be okay. It will need to be checked on a timegrapher to make sure it keeps the good time and to make sure the regulator pin hasn't moved and hairspring is cleared from lubricants and also examined with vario and scope program to make sure stability rate, amplitude, and the beat error are okay in the long run.
Hope this helps.

·My experience:
Yesterday I brought in a watch for service. It was running very well, but it was due. The watchmaker immediately noticed a bent second hand post. It then broke off when he removed the hands.
So if you are lucky, the shock just skewed the hand, but it needs a good inspection to see if damage goes deeper.

·Thank you for your input. I hope there is not any more damage. It did leave a nasty scratch on the crystal. Probably will have it replaced.
