Hi Derek,
I can't post a pic of the watch today, here is the situation, the band is torn up so a new one is needed and the horns (tangs) of the case were hit and deformed
so what is needed is a case and a bracelet. The bezel and insert are okay, as is the crystal an movement, been monitoring the movement it's -4 secs. a day,
not worried about the warranty, technically it's void. Do you have any suggestions, maybe a good watch man?.
Thanks
Bob Turnage
: 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.
