Big Crown Original vs. Artelier Pointer

[pcammara]

Could use some advice here. One of these watches will be my next purchase. Both watches are similar for my particular needs (pointer date). The obvious differences are the sapphire crystal and larger size on the Artelier pointer date relative to the Big Crown Original (not to mention a $240 difference in price).

Here's the key deal breaker...how well does the plexi crystal (which I assume is acrylic) hold up against scratches (which would drive me nuts). I already know how well sapphire crystal resists scratching.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who owns either watch.
