928 Watch..Sapphire or Mineral Crystal?

We need to know exactly how many are willing to spend the extra $100 for the sapphire crystal on this Limited Edition 928 watch.

For those of you who have pretty much decided that they want the watch, we need to know who wants the sapphire crystal.
Trying to get feedback the buyers

The watch with the Mineral will run Rennlist member $495
The watch with the Sapphire crystal will run Rennlist members $595

Is the sapphire crystal worth the extra hundred dollars to you?

Thanks
Chris @ Valencia Time Center

Excuse my watch ignorance but...

I'm always hearing people talk about this type or that type of quartz or crystal movement. What does that mean? I'm assuming the crystal is inside the watch so it can't be for looks. Please fill me in.

The crystal in this case refers to the clear cover over the face of the watch. Mineral, though pretty good scratches. Saphire is much harder and rarely scratches unless you purposely dig a nail into it.

I voted yes for Saphire.
