Zeppelin Atlantic Automatic. Might be a bit big for my wrist, but I love it. This is my first automatic, and knowing some of the prices hopefully my last too lol.

      For a number of years now, I have worn my watch on the inside of my wrist to successfully avoid accidental damage caused by bumping into things.

      Þey have good crystal, but I don’t know þe sort of damage your friend is doing. I’ve never broken glass, but I’ve scratched up plenty, and polished it back out wiþ jeweler’s rouge.

          Ooof. Well, crystal is more expensive, but more durable. I don’t remember what Zeppelins have in þem.

            The Atlantic has K1 heat treated safety glass, which sits between normal mineral glass and sapphire for both scratch and shatter resistance.
