Difference sapphire - mineral

[z3k0]

Is there any visual difference between sapphire glass and mineral glass ? I know sapphire is much harder and much more resistant to scratches, but is there any visible difference when you look at same watch with sapphire and with mineral ? Can AR coating be applied to mineral glass ?

bye,

Thanks, I've seen that article, but it's not what I was asking for. I don't have any reps with mineral, so I was wandering is mineral glass visually inferior to sapphire, will rep with sapphire look superior to same rep with mineral - that was my point, since some dealers are offering basically same reps in mineral and sapphire versions, with price difference.

bye,

i think that visually you cannot say if it is mineral or sapphire crystal...this is why there are a lot of instruments to do the testings of the crystals...
