Hi all,
I'm in a bit of a sticky situation where I can blame no one but myself.
Long story short, I accidentally dropped my one week old Tudor Black Bay (not Fifty-Eight) with in-house movement on a tile floor from about 4 feet height. I feel almost devastated as it's the first time I dropped any watch ever.
Thankfully, the cosmetic damage seems fairly small, just a small ding on the lug, which I can live with. However, the movement has started making some sort of small mental-on-metal banging noise when I shake the watch. Otherwise the movement is keeping time. My suspicion is that the rotor weight has come loose.
I took it to the AD where I bought the watch from and they recommended that I hold off sending it in for repairs until the watch completely stops working. After talking to a few people on my own, I came to a conclusion that I should just send my watch in for repairs ASAP since when the watch completely stops working, the repair costs may end up being higher.
Here in Canada (Toronto), it seems I have two options, either to go through my AD to mediate the repair process, or I talk to Rolex Canada directly about the repairs (as they are listed it as an "affiliate" service centre for Tudor watches on the website).
I could use some advice on what to expect/what I can do from now in dealing with this situation as I have never sent a watch in for repairs other than for basic service on some cheaper ETA-based watches. How much could a movement repair theoretically cost (assuming it's the only thing that's wrong with the watch at the moment)?
Thanks
