Can't part with my Submariner this week while I'm caving. Threw a make-shift "crystal protector" on her while below ground. The cerachrom is exposed but I wouldn't lose sleep over some love marks on the bezel.

Let the good times (and comments) roll!

Pictures from below to come later in the week. Here are some pics of my "custom" baby:

Not as clear as Sapphire but she'll do!

I would t bother with it myself.
Sapphire is hard an nails anyway.
How does that cover stay on?

I love using my Rolex for pretty much any situation, but for caving, I'd put in a G-Shock in a heartbeat.

You so need an Explorer II...

How was it adhered to the sapphire?

OK...enjoy the caving.

Good luck. Saphhire is the most scratch-proof part of your watch, though. Should be fine unless you come across a diamond deposit
