Most modern Rolex watches are equipped with sapphire crystal. Sapphire is exceptionally hard and scratch resistant. Thus if you try to scratch it with your nails you will never be able to.

However, it is important to note that while sapphire crystal is durable, it is not completely scratch-resistant. A strong blow to a rough surface may still result in small scratches.

Regular wear and tear does not usually cause scratches on sapphire crystal, but it is best to avoid contact with abrasive materials. So dropping your watch in a washroom or hitting it against the counter shouldn’t leave a scratch.

To maintain the appearance of the sapphire crystal, regular cleaning with a soft cloth is sufficient.

If the plexiglass crystal on your Rolex is scratched, you can polish it to improve its condition. Consider using a specialized product such as Polywatch, designed specifically for plexiglass watch crystals.

Remember that proper care and maintenance plays a critical role in maintaining the beauty and longevity of your Rolex watch. If you are unsure about scratches, contact us for advice and possible repairs.
