I don’t think there are different sapphires and if there is, I can’t imagine Rolex would use one of lesser quality than Breitling. Maybe it’s the difference in water resistance and thereby difference thickness that gives them the different looks? Pardon my ignorance on this matter.

I believe the reflection/appearance is due to the lack of an AR (anti-reflective) coating on Rolex crystals.

If this is incorrect, let the wrath of the community rain down on me.
