    I don't have the bottle to try that - I managed to scratch a sapphire crystal (no external AR coating - the actual sapphire) by catching it on a 'granite' (Larvikite) worktop. There's no way there's any diamond in that stuff, but it still managed to scratch the crystal, so...

    Introduce velocity and a softer material will still scratch sapphire, but if your watch could talk it would be saying "yeah, but you should see the state of the other guy."

    Chortle! Yep - I can live with the damage, it's small and inconspicuous, and part of me prefers a bit of a lived-in look

    The bracelet on my son's Sinn watch is getting too tight on him so I'm going to need to add a link.
    A quick search seems to indicate the screws are a bit of a bugger to remove.
    Any experience with these and tips. Generally for my Rolex bracelets some boiling water does the trick so not sure if the same with the Sinn bracelet.
