I think you made the better choice. The Jazzmasters are nice but the Khakis are veruh nice-a!

Well, I mean if I have a watch that isn't as scratch resistent. I just have a functional watch that I paid $150 for. Is there some type clear screen I can put on it(that doesn't look as cheesy as the ones on them in the stores)?

I wanted a more classy and dressy watch. That's why I was gunning for the Jazzmaster. I might end up with a Jazzmaster Viewmatic to fullfill that need. Can get one used for under $300.

It is more expensive, but it works better

I'd probably think, as you can get watch faces coated in Sapphire Crystal that there is probablly some sort of spray available? Ask in a jewellers.

Buying a piece of Sapphire Crystal isn't worth it for a $150 watch...you're right.


I think the Sapphire Crystal face is very likely my favourite part of my TAG.

This is the watch I wear 24/7.

The best watch I have ever owned I wouldn't trade it for anything.

If I could I would wear my original Pulsar, but alas it needs repair and almost nobody fixes them anymore.

I pretty much avoid mineral crystals or acrylic nowadays. Either Hardlex, Sapphlex or sapphire for me.

I don't think there is such a spray version available... just be careful of what you bang your watch face into.

Otherwise you can just think of it as 'wabi'!

After months of searching I finally bought:

Ain't she a beauty?

Omega Speedmaster Professional. It has a timeless appeal.

That's a good looking Hamilton X-Wind, it goes well with the strap. $800 for a brand new one in rose gold ?

I have once again changed my order. Two more months of wait due to this. Worth it? I think so...

Those are "blue" hands, right?

Which one were you ordering before?
