I haven't posted here before, but I've been lurking here for a little bit... Finally bought the ever so popular 2531.50.00 and I can't stop fawning over it. I've taken countless pictures, but haven't we all seen enough :>
Just saw some interesting kid counts, and thought I'd jump in. My wife and I just had twins which puts our count at 5. Long days are the norm tho huh? I get up at 5am and usually get to bed sometime between 11 and 1am. I'm a night person, but that 1.5 hours of SILENCE in the morning is worth getting up for! Thanks to all for such an informative forum, and thanks to Derek for such a great site.
Anyways, DOMED CRYSTAL... I typically am pretty rough with just about everything that I buy, and a watch is no exception. I too was concerned about the crystal being domed. Mine has so far,(3 WHOLE weeks!), held up very well. From what I can gather, the crystal is actually made from a polished chunk of synthetic (man-made) saphire. If this is the case, it should be incredibly scratch resistant.A true scratch should only come from a material with a moh's hardness of 9 or greater (diamond is 10). Chipping is a different matter though, and CAN happen from impacts with materials with a lower moh's hardness.
Like I said, I THINK this is the case. Someone please let me know if I am wrong :>
Sorry for the lemgth.
