Bambino vs Sternglas

Hi, I just purchased a 40 mm orient bambino version 6 which is beautiful but anticipating the inevitable scratches on its crystal is constantly bothering me. Is Sternglas quartz, though still will be more expensive, worth it instead? Like to hear from current or previous owners of both watches. Thanks!

Buy a tube of polywatch for $5 and you'll be able to remove scratches on the crystal for years to come.

If it gets really bad after a couple of years, you can always bring the watch to your local watchmaker and have the crystal replaced by a sapphire one for $50 or so, depending on where you live.

Crystals are disposable. Enjoy your watch and don't worry about the crystal, it can always be replaced and upgraded later.

I've had my eye on a quartz Naos for a while because it's a Bauhaus design I can afford. Not only that, I like its dial even better than Junghans, Nomos, etc. You don't seem real happy with your Sternglas. What's the reason for that?

Yeah I got an early build and it’s just not great quality and too big
