Dropped my po onto a tiled floor a couple of days ago from a healthy height, it kind of went in slow motion but I couldn't save it. I had a moment of madness, I was holding it up to a light to charge the lume & it slide out of my grasp,I was scrambling for it....but missed It thought it had completely survived but Just noticed a couple of marks on the case when the light caught it. I keep having flashbacks of the incident. Seems to be keeping good time still so luckily no serious damage
whew. These stories usually end with "...and my crystal shattered", or "... and the lug snapped off". Your watch just gained some character, and you just dodged a bullet!
Now you know one benefit to being shorter than 5' 6"..... less height to drop your watch from = less damage.
Think that I may have done some damage after all .... When I look at the back of the watch the 'balance arm' seems a little 'stiffer'than usual & I can kind of get it to balance at top dead centre ..if this makes sense... I am by no means a watch maker so the terms I use could well be wrong. I have compared the 'balance arm /rotor'with my Aqua terra with the same movement and this one is definitely 'stiffer' I'm checking the time keeping which at the moment seems ok Any advice appreciated
Dropped it on a tile floor many years ago and had to get it repaired by Omega. Came out looking mint though!
Get a fish tank all you lume recharge people. Just stick it under fish tank light for 5sec,s Im still laughing about last bloke that melted his AR coating
