That hurts
I set my watches when sit, but i do strap on watches sometimes when i stand.
I know a fallen watch, but it was an affordable Tissot.
My fault, and the Swatch service center repair my watch for free.
The service center replaced the hands. They where bended.
I do not wear the watch anymore. I took it out of my watch collection.
The replacement:
Far more better that my Tissot. A strong watch, but i will not try to drop it on the floor.
Unbelievable what for the price they can give. Almost magic.
It let me overthink the need for expensive watches.
And it says that Sellita is getting so good, you have not to shame as Sellita runs your watch.
I have a bunch of in house buddies, sure they are more complex and finished.
bounced my 5296 calatrava dial down on my countertop - any experience with cost to repair
Was setting the time and i dropped my calatrava, dial-down on the countertop about 2 feet. There's no apparent damage but it stopped running (from most positions) Will send to henri stern watch agency in america as it's 5 years from new and i can combine ...
yikes… best of luck +++
As a rule, I never do anything with my watches (set time, wind, etc) unless I’m sitting down and have the watch over a soft surface (ie it can fall into my lap, etc). Dropped a Breitling one time onto the kitchen floor from about 5 feet up - wasn’t pretty...
i'm usually pretty disciplined about it but was overly exuberant about trying a new strap.
i edited to add there's no apparent damage, so we'll see how it goes
That is coincedence
I had ones a damaged Tissot by a kitchen floor fall. My first automatic watch. Not so long ago in 2018. On a Monday morning… it falls of my wrist by i was not woke up nicely. In a rush making coffee, and it happen. I wrote a typical Richard Nixon note, an...
The Sad News Is:
You will probably be without your watch for well over a year. The Henri Stern Agency is BUSY! Fortunately, they will not have to send it to Switzerland. All the best!

Impossible to tell...
To answer your question, one would definitely need to see the watch and be knowledgeable. The good news is this; your post indicated that there was unlikely any dial nor hand damage. So at least you're not looking at new dials nor hands. Hopefully the bil...
I see.
Well, at least the sapphire crystal isn't broken and there's no case damage. Hopefully there's nothing loose in the movement.
Filed an insurance claim and full repair at HSWA up to the value of the watch will be covered with no deductible
I'm pretty impressed that they understood it needs to be repaired at HSWA and not by watch battery changer person at mall bodega (which i was worried about!) Upon examination I had dinged the bezel a lot worse than i thought, so it's not going to be cheap...
Wow! What type of insurance policy?
Nice to have it covered!! The only policy I know of for watches are the type that insures for replacement value if stolen. Didn’t know there is a policy that covers accidental repairs as well.
state farm personal articles said accidental damage was covered
The drop was considered accidental damage i was worried because i've put off switching to a higher end carrier like chubb for home etc, but they understand that as a methaphor (but using their own words) "we understand a rolex has to be serviced by a role...
My friend Alec sent his aged Calatrava to Patek Geneva for an overhaul and polish
Months later we were touring Switzerland and when we got to our appointment at Patek they said his watch was ready. They brought it out to the lobby as we were about to leave after our tour. He had a mild tremor problem and while fumbling to fasten the st...
