Looking at a listing for a watch that says watch is Very Condition but has a scratch on the glass but the crystal is clean.

I feel like an idiot, what glass? I thought there was no glass just Crystal on rolex. (It's a fairly new watch not 80s or anything)

Interesting.

I thought the crystal was the “glass.”

I wonder if the seller meant something else...

Like “a scratch on the crystal but the dial is clean” or something like that

Could be a scratch on an exhibition case back.

Usually they are one and the same. Ask for pictures that show the scratch.

I second this notion.

Should be obvious from the pics. If there's no picture of the scratch, that's a terrible watch listing and I'd avoid the seller.

Sapphire is a crystal, but the crystal on a watch is often called the "glass".

I have no idea what the ad is trying to say.

Maybe there’s a scratch on the display case

Maybe...

glass = sapphire
crystal = cyclops

Or vice versa.
