    Fountain pen, watch, pocket knife ... I never leave home without these three.

    And usually I have my vintage HP calculator (yay RPN) with me as well.

    I just polished another acrylic crystal (not on an Omega watch). Took me three minutes, and it looks brand new again. I probably need to polish it again in a year from now, but that's not a big deal....

    The problem with the sapphire crystal is (at least for me) that once you see the white ring, you can't unsee it. Personally I am glad that I chose the hesalite crystal. OTOH, if that ring doesn't...

    One thing I learned in my first job (long ago): shave every day. Or have a well groomed beard. A 5 o'clock shadow does not look professional.

    I would buy it if I were you. Certina make fine watches, and the turtle case back is a nice bonus.
