WATCHES!

help me decide which watch to purchase. but before you go any further, let me tell you a little about watch faces.

The face, or "glass" of the watch comes in 3 major types.

Acrylic, Mineral, and Sapphire. Acrylic is the most scratchable of all, but also the only face that can be polished at home to remove fine to medium scratches.

Mineral crystal is sort of in-between. it is scratch-resistant to a certain extent, but knocks against steel would leave scratches. mineral crystal can NOT be polished.

Sapphire crystal is virtually scratch-proof. it is rated 9 on Moh's hardness scale (Diamond comes in at 10.) It's the most costly face to fit and it can NOT be polished as well.

that being said, without further ado, here are the contenders:



















A) Sinn 356: chronograph with day/date. comes with either acrylic crystal at $1,550 or sapphire crystal at $2,100.



















B) Glycine Combat 4: chronograph with date. only in mineral crystal face at $1,550. this is also the largest watch, size wise.




















C) Sinn 756: chronograph with date. anti-magnetic. comes only with sapphire crystal face at $2,200.

if i spot any other watches that catches my eye, i'll post them up. till then, tell me what you think!
