: Gentlemen,
: I recently purchased a 45mm PO. However several
: days after purchase and when putting on the
: watch for only the 2nd time I have noticed 3
: or 4 marks on the crystal. Actually I think
: these are marks on the inside of the
: crystal, as I wear my Bond everyday (lots of
: abuse) but never any marks to the crystal!!
: I know the AR coat on the outside is easily
: scratched, but surely not that easy? Should
: I return the watch to my AD, as these marks
: are clearly visible? Any advice would be
: well received...
Sadly, the outer AR coating of the Planet Ocean does scratch VERY easily. The reason you don't notice any scratches on your Bond SMP is that this watch has an inner coating only, so there's nothing on the outside of the crystal to scratch.
A lot of people just decide to remove the outer AR coating from their Planet Oceans all-together, since they'd rather not have to look at the scratches. Any competent watchmaker can remove it for you. Some people have also been successful doing it themselves using a Cape Cod polishing cloth, hairspray, and certain other solvents.
