If you really like the watch by design alone I don't see that it would matter, museum grade crystal or not. A curved crystal is termed "concave" as with lenses. I like the quality significance of a concave lens vs. a flat lens or crystal.downer wrote:I expect the C11 crystal to perform better in terms of clarity and AR. The C9 (2011 FLE) crystal is curved, and in my experience, curved crystals rarely perform as well as a well-coated flat crystal - in terms of anti-reflection.alphajet wrote:It will be interesting to see how the C11 crystal compares to the one on the 2011 FLE, the colours are similar black face, bold white indices and a hint of red.

Sorry to resurect an old thread, but I was wondering how the MGC is in terms of hardness, compared to sapphire?

Thank you for the information. I feel sort of silly for asking the question. I guess I thought museums used a type of sapphire glass that was more break resistant. Ive been watching too many jewel theist movies
