My first dropped watch!

I had my KO 2627 Seamaster Calendar in a precarious position, and it fell. Two feet to plastic, and then three feet to steel.

PANIC!

Threw it on the timing machine, weird readings. Possibly needed time for the balance cap jewels to come back?

Took another set of readings and emailed my watchmaker. His reassuring reply was, these numbers don't look bad, demag it, and try again.

Did so, and the numbers were still in the same range.

I'm normally very careful, but this time, not careful enough.

You never know when something like this will happen, so it pays to pay attention!

As I recall you're in Wisconsin. Perhaps one less round will make things better in the future 😁

Watch lovers biggest nightmare.

I've done the same thing, a three foot fall to a hard wood floor plus a healthy bounce. Landed on its side. When I picked it up the second hand was running 20% faster than normal. I let it run out of wind and then took it to the repair shop. All is well now. And yet, other times it can happen without any noticeable damage or effect. Another time, a fellow I knew was showing off his $200 wonder (one of those watches you see advertised...looks amazing but you can't believe the price). He took it off and banged it onto the tabletop to show how fast he could get the rotor spinning...banged it really hard. Then he did it again, to show someone else. The watch showed no ill effects

Moron none the less.
