Broken Rolex Milgauss Advice

I'm 99% sure that it'll have marks on the dials. Best option is the RSC since finding a crystal and dial from elsewhere will cost more.

 

How did he manage that?

All the best,
Andrew.

 

You're welcome. I've had a few of these from clients over the years. Not too many but one was a Milgauss and the other a Daytona.

This was a few years ago when the parts needed (dial and crystal) were more readily available. My cost for the parts was slightly higher than Rolex but I wouldn't require a service so they automatically saved that $600 or whatever it was back then.

Now these parts are much harder to find and when you add up the math it's better to just have Rolex do it. I can search for the parts if he wants me too but those crystals are damn hard to find.

 

I’d also be worried about potential damage inside the movement with that kind of sharp shock. Definitely have it checked out properly, i.e. RSC

 

Another vote for having the movement checked as well. Can tiny pieces of the crystal find their way under the dial?

 

Pretty difficult for them to end up there as they'd have to be small enough to squeeze between the date window, date disk and dial on most watches. Since this model has no date the only opening is around the center where the hands connect but the chances of a broken sapphire piece going through there are close to zero.

 

I would go to an AD for a Milgauss. It has a completely different crystal than all other Rolex. There is no laser etching and it has a green tinted crystal.

I would also have them service it to make sure there isn’t an issue with the movement now even though the Milgauss movement is in a special cage.

Btw. This is a reason to have insurance like Jewelers Mutual and not put it on your homeowners, they will pay to fix the watch for damage like this.

Cheers,
Corey
