Question about Rolex sapphire crystals...
Just wondering…
1) Does Rolex make its sapphire crystals in-house or do they have an outside supplier? If so, is it in Switzerland? 2) Are Rolex sapphire crystals higher quality than crystals on other watches? Can the quality of sapphire crystals vary from watch manufacturer to watch manufacturer? I know that Rolex has its own gold foundry, so I think they might even make their own crystals. I´ve googled for answers but haven´t found any. Thanks in advance! :thumbsup: |
They don't make their own crystals, I believe they do cut them themselves but the sapphire is lab grown somewhere else.

Rolex uses alien technology and materials that do not appear on the periodic table to make their crystals. Done deep in their gold mines. It is a closely kept secret, shhhhhh |
Does anyone know which is harder - Sapphire crystal or Cerachrome ceramic? Been wondering. Apologies if this has been answered. And is Rolex ceramic any harder than others? Cheers. :cheers:

We would all like to think that Rolex crystals (and everything else about them) are better than the "other guys" but unfortunately this is not always true.

Can a Rolex crystal be scratched by a zipper?

Is this the same aliens who invented Velcro and Spam? Oops, I wasn't supposed to disclose this. :cheers:

I believe the Rolex crystals are made by elves, deep inside a cave, high in the Swiss Alps. Rolex crystals are of course far superior to any other crystal.
Seriously, a sapphire crystal is a sapphire crystal. The only debate is if and how much anti reflection coating should be applied to the crystal. I am with Rolex on this and I prefer my crystal clean and undercoated. I have had coated crystals that look nice, but there always seem to be marks and imperfections that I can't get rid of. |
1) Does Rolex make its sapphire crystals in-house?
No. 2) Are Rolex sapphire crystals higher quality than crystals on other watches? Also, no. |
