Ooops...dropped my Senator Navigator....
I was in the locker room at the Greenwich YMCA this morning. While getting dressed after my workout, I grabbed at my NY Yankees hat sitting at the bottom of the locker, forgetting that the Navigator was nestling in it.

From what I see, there are zero scratches/abrasions and the watch is still keeping time perfectly.
So do you think I dodged a bullet here or do you think I threw the mechanism off, requiring some adjustment?
