: Seriously: Can teeth scratch the sapphire
: crystal?

LOL, Hacmac, that's a funny photo. AFAIK, there are only a few things that can scratch a sapphire crystal: 1- a diamond. And 2- another sapphire crystal.
Whenever I get customers looking at Seamaster Pros, I always hold out my left arm and drag my keys across the sapphire crystal( how many eyes around the world just grew wider ?). I really should stop doing that (because you never know), but it's almost worth doing it just to see the looks on their faces as the key skates across the crystal.
I can honestly say that there are no scratches on the crystal, nothing at all. Now before anyone replies to this e-mail telling me I should get my head examined or something, let me just say that I try to look after my watches so I would not do this if I thought it would scratch the crystal.
I just may be crazy, but I'm not dumb.

teeritz.

P.S.- the only risk with handing a watch to babies is that they can hide the watch in places where you will NEVER find it. They are positively ingenious when it comes to things like that.
