Plexi if it is available. Although it will get hairline scratches, they are easily polished out. I ended up using toothpaste to remove the scratches on my Omega Speedmaster.

Some of the special edition models with plexiglass have an extra crystal in the box, but I am not sure if the 372 does or not.

If scratches on the crystal will bother you then get sapphire, if not get plexi.

Congratulations! Plexi or sapphire, it is a wonderful watch. Just one of the best Luminor models to have in the collection. I have looked at that model many times. Sandwich dial and domed crystal, what's not to like!?
Cheers,
Carl

The newer models (couple years back now) have sapphire crystal.
