So, a quick update on the accident I had with my Black Magic.






And, it's good news, for once. Apparently, my clumsiness has managed not to dent (pun intended) my wallet too much. 
As andrewluff correctly (thank you for giving me hope) wrote, only the piece between the lugs was chipped. Now, to me, the piece looks integrated into the housing, so I was really afraid. But, of course, andrewluff has forgotten more about these things than I will ever learn.
There was no damage to the mechanism from the impact.
They quoted a reasonable price and up to 5 weeks for repairs, meaning they wouldn't even need to send it to Switzerland.
So now I wait. And thank whichever god protects fools.
Thank you all for advice (and mocking, it was well deserved).

Your accident scares me deeply ...

Being left handed (that's equals to clumsy), I'm very accident prone. Since I have several ceramic cased watches, I'm extra careful to avoid (the unavoidable) this type of disaster. Great news, about your watch. Cheers, Nilo

Let's hope you never have this problem.

But you lefties are not nearly as clumsy as you say.

That's great news!

Fortunately it appears to just be the lug shroud that broke and not the lugs/case. Easy fix. Glad things are working out well. Please be sure to share a fresh pic when you get her back!

Will do, thanks. [nt]

I'm glad for you that things work out well!

keep us updated!

Precisely.

Especially here, in Russia, I expected them to tell me the mechanism and the case had to be changed and they will charge me $$$. Good to know there is some honesty left.

Very happy the outcome is better than anticipated.

Everyone has an accident here and there. It seems your misfortune created one of the longest threads we have ever seen on the Hublot forum, sort of a sad commentary! But I will look forward to seeing the watch fixed, at a fair expense.

I seem to have more accidents than most...

Unfortunately for my wallet.

Thankfully not. [nt]

Good news indeed. Next time we meet I will bring you a small gift

For emergencies ...  

Thank you so much.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 15th, 2017-08:40
And I will bring a pink NATO for you.

Hehehe

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : February 15th, 2017-10:27

Phew! Happy to hear it can be fixed relatively easier
