IMO, the watch dial is the most important visual part, and since it's already guarded by a very scratch resistant crystal, I should keep it clear.

Oh right that make sense, I remember just replacing my jlc crystal recently.
And you are right the first thing we see when we take a glance of a watch is the dial.
