Thanks guy for all the advice, settled on the new sapphire sandwich!
The legibility of the registers is INSANE. Compared to my other chronos, nothing is too shiny or covered. This is the perfect tool watch.
The manual also describes a technique to "hack" the 1863, which I tried and succeeded, so the only caveat I had when buying this watch is now covered!
Immediately took it off the bracelet, then realized the Velcro is too long, and the Nato too chromey, so now it sits on my old Maratec nato, I love it!
If anyone wants the included 2 straps, PM me with offer.
