Is it just me....

Is it just me that gets annoyed how "smudgy" my crystal gets on my 16760? I'm always catching myself cleaning the crystal on my watch a few times a day. Anyone else share this sentiment, or do I have a fake crystal?

Yeah I'm leaning that way too. It's funny, I don't remember being this obsessive compulsive when I was younger.

Thanks for the input.

Great..I have a 16760 on the way. I guess I'll stock up on the microfiber and polywatch now to appease my obsessive compulsive ways

Can't imagine polywatch would do much for a sapphire crystal!

That's why I don't have any more watches with sapphire crystals. I just sold my Tudor 79190. It really annoyed me! Great watch otherwise, though.
