I'm going to Rolex this coming Tuesday to treat myself.
My Explorer II pictured through the above link has a pretty sago scratch on the crystal just under the cyclops lens.
The bezel although I just did the numbers with some testor enamel paint and a tooth pick is showing its age with some dings here and there.

I'm going to get one or the other replaced, I can't afford to do both
I called Rolex and spoke to their service department and both parts cost around the same to replace
I just can't decide which one to do.

Thoughts please

I'd go with the crystal.

If you don't mind the question, what did they quote you for the repair of each?

Do the crystal. That's the part that leads to the heart of the watch.

Crystal- you did a good job on the bezel so I would focus your $ on the window looking in!

Crystal.

I was quoted $290 for a new bezel and $280 for the crystal
Thanks for your opinions I think I will go for the crystal as I can always retouch the numbers on the bezel now that I know how to

Just got back from Rolex Canada with a new sapphire crystal on my Explorer II
It looks like new.
It will be complete when the hands glow in the dark again but that can wait.
This baby shines like new

Crystal all the way. I can deal with almost anything, but I can not deal with a scratched crystal.

crystal for sure.
