IT HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL

I "scratched" my 1-month old SA Crystal.... I was piss*d off....big time.... Spoke to Breitling Canada;
they said it happens quite often and the AR coating is only some kind of spray

In my case, I believe it was my wife's diamond ring, when we were in bed.....that niked it....awww well
sh*t happens and the worst part is that its been at the service center for 3 weeks,,,,

Are you in Canada?

It IS a spray, but then it's baked at considerable temperature so it's not like a can of spray paint or something.

Unfortunately nothing is totally scratch-proof : you could scratch a diamond with another diamond for example. The AR coating is tough, but not as tough as the sapphire...... which (as we all know) is also not as tough as diamond.

I will have to wait another 2 weeks to get back my SA; they don't stock any SA crystals;
they will be receiving it from Switzerland
