A little off topic but even the most expensive watches aren’t subject to being damage proof if it isn’t a defect that is. I am a pretty serious watch collector and I bought the new ceramic bezel Rolex two tone submariner, Rolex guys refer to this watch as a “bluesey”. Anyway, had it for a week and though I can’t recall doing so, I must have banged it against a wall or something and it hit the ceramic bezel in just the right place to crack it. Now Rolex is known to be very robust so this is a rarity. However, after going back and forth with Rolex and $2,700 later, it is now finally fixed. Crazy situation to deal with for sure. Moral to the story is, I know what you’re going through.

Your ceramic bezel insert cost $2700??? What else was damaged on the watch bc a ceramic insert isn’t $2700. Was the entire gold section of the bezel replaced as well?

Yep you are correct. They said that the gold bezel was out of round and they had to replace that too. Also, they had to service the watch too which was another 700. Crazy that you don’t even get the bent gold bezel back. I know why they don’t do that but it’s too bad as it’s pure gold.
