: I have the pieces and want to get it
: repaired.

What exactly are the pieces and their condition? Any way you can post a photo of the watch so we can see how it survived such an accident?

Realize that for repair, you are paying hourly rates for custom labor and high replacement costs for repair parts. Manufacturing a new watch is a lot cheaper than restoring a severely damaged one. To give you an idea of just parts costs alone: bracelet (steel) $400, sapphire crystal $250, bezel $100... no idea on the main case, but I doubt that is cheap either.

So the costs of a major repair can quickly approach the replacement cost of the watch. That's likely why the insurance company just replaced the watch instead of having it repaired.
