This Laureato saved the gentlemen's wrist!

Alright what happen is the wearer of this Laureato was being robbed. The robbers actually had sharp weapons, believe to be big blades or knives or whatever you call it, and had caused some slash wound to the wearer. However, this watch probably saved his wrist from being deeply cut or possibly chopped off.....




The wearer must have tried to blocked one of the slash as a natural reaction and he manage to take one on the watch! Which i think he is very lucky that he had the watch on his wrist which actually did protect his wrist!!

This watch was sent in for repairing and i manage to take a few shots thus like to share it here with all. It was pretty gross as the sapphire glass was broken completely, one hand is broken, the hour and minute hand's luminous was cracked and the bezel, well you see it! But the carbon fibre dial remains 1 piece.  And if you look carefully you will see some blood stain on the right sub dial near to number 2. It was pretty raw and i've never seen a watch in this condition before....kinda like seeing a F40 car crashed and the remainders sent to workshop=p

Well, i did thought of this idea of blocking some blade attack, if ever, touch wood,i am being attacked, with my watch but had never experienced or seen anything like this. So it does work but chances are the blade might miss the watch and gets to the wrist! Ouch....

Take care out there guys!!
