I don't really know if their sapphires are really comparable, but I was walking in a mall one day with my Omega Double Eagle and I walked past one of those stationary garbage cans made of what I can only assume was painted cement and my wrist kind of hit it and then scrapped across the surface of the crystal when I was moving my arms. The damage was not pretty. There was a gash on the crystal and it was so bad I could actually scrap the paint off. Plus the contact did a number on the bezel. I was pissed. Now I'm extra careful with my hands/wrists when I'm wearing anything relatively expensive.
