pam 372 crystal or plexi?

Which year did they start with crystal?
And I'm guessing the Plexi is more desirable?

Sapphire was just recently introduced. It always had plexi before that.

I'd go for crystal every time but I doubt you'd have too many problems finding a plexi if that's what you really want.

Crystal is my preference. Plexi on that sized didl scratched too easily for me.

It's an awesome watch for sure, and it looks great on you. But is plexi 'so much better'? For you, yes, no question. However, for someone like me who gets traumatised by a scratch that requires a microscope to see, then no, plexi is not the answer.

I get the 'sacrilege' point etc. but the beauty of the sapphire upgrade is that no one other than the wearer will ever know. I mean, it's not like we're comparing a 1950 Luminor with a Due now, is it?

To each his own

lol....you shouldn't be wearing a watch at all if you're 'traumatized' by every scratch. watches are meant to be worn, meant to be weathered, meant to have some character

seen the new one and yes you can tell the difference in person, hey if you're so worried about scratches then buy a swatch or a timex, lol.

you're right, to each his/her own
