In Response To: Does domed crystal bothers you? ()

: I never had a domed crystal watch. I have
: noticed some or most of OMEGA watches has
: domed crystals. It seems easier get
: scratched than flat crystal watches.

While the domed crystal sounds like it would be easier to scratch, I have never noticed any significantly higher risk. Seems that a crystal really isn't going to get bumped any less either way.

What really makes the difference is having a sapphire crystal versus any other type. The sapphire is very difficult to scratch.
