Yeah, you are right! There was two layers of plastic covering the sapphire. When I had removed the first one; I thought that was it.
What can I say, the only excuse I have is that this is my first buy of a rep....
And of course I have already contacted Chris, prior to posting this thread. This is not at all to discredite Chris, it it just to ask from you guys what I should expect when buying a rep, regadless of vendor choosen.
Otherwise the watch now looks great. Everything is working fine, also the chronos. The manual wind feels confident and there is no strange or scraping sound from the rotor. Moving the bezel feels great.
The only thing to fix is that the watch was delvered with a croc strap, instead of the brown leather strap that I ordered. But that is an easy fix.
So, overall I am ver happy with the watch! I will take som better photos to add to this thread.
