Acrylic vs. Mineral vs. Sapphire watch crystals
This question comes up from time-to-time, and thought a brief explanation of what they are and how to tell what they are may be useful. Most collectors, WISa€™ already know, but for those that dona€™t know, here it is;
First off, acrylic is a fancy name for plastic, or Plexiglas. Plexi, of course, is the least expensive. It is also the least likely to shatter and the most likely to become scratched. Mineral glass, even though it has been hardened by a tempering process, is more likely to break than Plexiglas.

Rotating Bezel Watches
Another special feature on many watches is a rotating bezel, which enables the wearer to measure elapsed time without having to do any mental arithmetic. At the start of the event to be timed, he turns the bezel so that the zero marker- often a triangular pointer- is aligned with the watch’s minute or seconds hand. When the event ends, he reads the elapsed time off the bezel.
Some rotating bezels are designed for purposes other than time measurement. A rotating slide-rule bezel lets the wearer perform arithmetic calculations.

GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time, the time at the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England, and the standard time for navigation and international radio broadcasts. GMT watches have an additional hour hand, set separately from the regular hour hand, which gives the hour in a second time zone using a 24- hour scale on the watch dial.
