The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I had a quick question to ask you guys about the sapphire crystal. As I look at the watch face under regular light, I notice a few tiny, microscopic scratches. I am guessing these are just micro scratches in the AR coating. I was wondering if there was anything you could do to buff these out or anything.

You can remove the AR coating, it can be polished off, leaving just the internal coating. I had this done on my Steelfish and its nice not worrying about it any more.

There are also companies out there that can re-coat the crystal, but thats quite intrusive. They're really your only 2 options unless you're happy to live with it. Its not uncommon to get small scratches in the AR.

I guess you could have a new crystal fitted at a major service

A fully comprehensive answer from Mart there! Remove it totally yourself, or a costly re-coat by a non-Breitling source, or pay for Breitling to fit a new crystal are your only options.
