Practically, not really. Just wait till you pick up enough scratches to be ready for a sapphire upgrade.

The main thing I’d say is make sure they have the watch listed as “in stock”. Otherwise you might be waiting for them to source the watch, and there are plenty of stories out there about it not being exactly speedy.

While I do appreciate it, I don’t love it as much as others. Mostly because I’m not wild about the full polished finish. And, at least for U.S. based customers, it’s gotten too expensive. $2,000 on a less than stellar bracelet.

I really enjoy the detailed reviews from The Knight’s Watch.
