Not to brag, as you will quickly determine that admitting this I should be properly embarrassed, but having read your initial post I must admit to having dropped my Sapphire
Sandwich a number of times onto the carpeted bedroom floor from a standing position (therefore, more than 4 feet) and each time there has been absolutely no consequence.

Thank you sir.... [nt]
I'm certainly skeptical that it will remain working as before, if it happened once it will undoubtedly occur at another time...

Stay strong. In mind, let inspect your Speedmaster. Certificated Omega watch center. Many buro’s closed. Is there a possibility to send the watch to an Omega watch center? Insurance? When my Tissot fall, the hands were bend.
