In Response To: Re: Planet Ocean Scratched ()

Your watch is not a fake. It is indeed the anit-reflective material that is marked. That material does not have a hardness nearly close to sapphire. I have read other posts with similar problemes. I personally think an outer coating is not needed. I like the "jewelry" aspect of having a little reflection. It never has inhibited me from being able to tell the time in a quick glance.

The outer coating will eventually wear off and your crystal will be fine. There is a way to remove it but I don't recall how it is done. I wouldnt think this would void the warranty unless you damage other aspects of the watch while doing it. Maybe somebody else can offer input as to how to remove it safely if you desire.
