      Some brands you can see from the back if you take off the watch. When you can see the gears while wearing the watch it’s called a skeleton dial I believe. Rolex makes good watches but are far from being the best. To my knowledge, they don’t have an in house tourbillon, perpetual calendar, or a guilloche dial done by hand. If you ask a random person on the street what a Rolex is they’d likely be able to tell you it's a watch but probably not so much for other brands.

    As a rule of thumb that I would follow is if the sapphire breaks, immediately stop the watch as it’s very possible that pieces can get into the movement, especially because of the date window. Sapphire breaks are very common when dropping onto tile as well in case anyone is curious

    Does it also come with the miniature engraving of rolex logo on the replaced sapphire glass?

    Oh thanks, I been looking for this whole time. I hate when my Rolex breaks it's sapphire. Once I forgot my Rolex on my Lamborghini Aventador's seat. I couldn't find it for a week (I drive Lambo tuesdays) and when I found it on seat it's sapphire was broken, probably someone sat on it.

      Sapphire is scratch resistant, not shatter resistant. Infact it is less impact resistant than mineral glass

    Sapphire is very scratch-resistant, but also very brittle.
