Okay, not glass, you’re talking about Sapphire. And yes, a good watchmaker can find one that fits and do it. But why bother? Wait until you actually damage it. Then try polywatch, which is a magic and cheap substance that fixes all ills. Then if that doesn’t work, you can start to think about replacing the crystal. But it will.

That’s a good shout. You can get a decent quality Brosnan era Seamaster 300m well under £2k. A classic, and will survive the impact of karate chopping stuntmen.

Yeah, but John Wick is still fun. Worse, but still fun.

For a watch fan, it’s one of those uncomfortable pleasures, in that it’s great to see the watches he’s got and picked, but at the same time, he does a bad job of pretending he’s not boasting.

Yeah. Mayer has an incredible watch collection, is well known as a watch guy, and has money to burn. Airports have watches that many of us know we can’t afford. Those prices are a joke to him, so he’s a bit over dismissive about it from his lofty perch. Ten grand is a joke to him. I’m a fan of his, but yeah, he was being a snob. He’d probably soften that statement if anyone brought him up on it.
