Personally, I'd love to be able to admire the movement, and also the durability of the sapphire glass so I'd go for the sapphire sandwich. But I'm sure you'll get lots of different opinions here :-)

This is why I chose the Saphire Sandwich.

Great watch either way.

Sapphire Sandwich on leather band. Was at Omega Boutique in NYC yesterday trying on every permutation, as well as the "first watch in space" edition. That's what I have settled on, and thank you for all the advice!

Will work with one of our trusted resellers to procure in the near future.

Its a shame because the movement is beautiful.
