How to Confirm Sapphire?

[tesmith2112 0]

Bought a DSSD watch that is suppose to be sapphire, but now I'm not so sure. This one took a minor bump/drag against a wall and has several scratches as a result. I have watches that have taken a lot more punishment than that. I have a couple of watches with scratched up bezels, but I've never had a scratched crystal. I've read about the water drop test, but I'm curious about other ways to confirm....?

A diamond tester will give you the answer you want.-

Flick the crystal with your fingernail.

If it makes a 'plink' sound it's not sapphire, if its a dull tap sound then it is.

What ever you do ,don`t listen to anyone saying that tapping it with your finger nail will tell you if its Sapphire

I guess i should stop tapping my watches like a fool from now on

This is going to sound stupid if im wrong but im willing to say it .

I heard some where if you lick your finger and drag it across the glass you should see the wetness change shape (get thiner) if you no what I mean

I would be surprised any if these granma' tricks would actually work, especially knowing crystals can be AR coated and of various thicknesses.

 

+1 on OS and the diamond tester. Works just fine.

Translation for that would be "Finally, a French who has sens".

No inner turmoil at all scone!

He just can't get his hand off his prick long enough for his brain to have a remote chance of functioning normally.

It`s all the Masculine and Feminine words Wiz, prehaps your understand Feminine words better ?

What are you taking about? Masculine/Feminine only applies to "Anglais" in that last sentence, and you got it right. It's the rest of the sentence that is wrong.

"Sometimes I'm embarassed to be English inside here"

 

Correct translation would be: "Ici j'ai parfois honte d'être anglais". We don't capitalize nationalities, and "embarassed" is not a French word.

Or to fit more with what you were trying to say "Quand je lis ce que les gens ici écrivent, j'ai parfois honte d'être anglais."
