Walking along minding my own business, watch drops off my wrist and lands face down on the concrete.

In a similar fashion to how one might pick their phone up after it landed face down, I did it slowly with one eye closed.



Doesn't seem to be any damage to the case, crystal or bezel, basically everything external looks OK but surely a 3ft ish drop onto concrete could have played havoc with the movement?

It's circa 3 months old and bought new from Goldsmiths for the best part of £5k, testament to the sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel that it looks OK, but surely this shouldn't have happened.

Haven't got any of the bracelet bits that fell out as it was dark but looks like the bar has gone, and a screw.

Do I get it fixed and hope for the best or...

Strap sized by Goldsmiths when purchased so that's where it will be going back to. Thanks for advice.

Amazed there doesn't seem to be a mark on it.

Quick update, watch went back to Goldsmiths who sent it back to Omega.

They checked the movement and put a new bracelet and bezel on it.

Came back looking good as new.
