Wife diamond hit my sapphire on my watch.
Is there a simple fix or costly? Scratch is near the 10 marker.

Wow just one of those bad luck events. The glass is changeable, under 500CAD but cant remember exact amount. Could even be under 400 CAD, i had it done on my kermit. If you really want to know I can dig up the bill.

sorry about the accident, but your Sub is sharp and pops.

Sure, just change the crystal.
Better it happened there than on the edge of the case. |

If it's not deep it could probably be polished out by someone who knows what they're doing.
Otherwise just replace it when the watch needs to be serviced. |

Only thing to do is live with it or replace it. It doesn't impact the function of the watch at all.

Cost my buddy $300ish (if I recall correctly). Happened to him out at a bar once. Diamond swept right across the crystal. I hate the 3-4 week turnaround time more then cost. But send it to AD and it will be over soon!

Leave it. You'll think her when you see the little scratch. It will be a nice thing.

Nothing can fix that deep gash.
You need to buy a new Pepsi now. Put it on your wife's credit card. |

Leave it. You’ll always think of your wife now (hopefully in a good light) when you look at the time. As long as your marriage is happy and you both love each other, that’s what matters most :)

Take a black Sharpie and fill in the scratch. You'll hardly notice it.
