Broken Rolex oyster perpetual datejust

[madmover]

Evening all, i was passenger in a car accident just over a month ago. Accident was a head on collision due to someone swerving into our carriage way at the last second. As a result of the impact my wrist hit the doorcard/dash with some force and i managed to break the strap into a fair few pieces... t i can get it repaired but i want everyone elses opinion... whats the chances of the internals being damaged as a result of the impact? Would you recommend having it serviced as a precaution or do you think it would be okay? The insurance company will be paying but they are querying if it needs it? what would you all argue? Am i just being over pre cautious?

Cheers..

Andy

Best to get it checked out. A service will show any major problems with the watch.
If the strap broke into many pieces, i guess there is a high chance of internal problems.

Perhaps your insurance company would pay for a service and inspection?

thats what im hoping to achieve but they are questioning the need! may have to take it to a specialist and get him to put together a letter with 'his' views..

I assume they'll be paying for someone to inspect the car and damage - ask why wouldn't they pay for the same with the watch?

Just the watch still tell the time accurately?

After alot of arguing they are sending it off for an inspection/service (-:
