It was! A sapphire crystal replacement is the last (or next, anyway) thing to do. The mineral glass has a lot of scratches and chunks out of it even though they don't really show in the picture. This is the watch I wear when I can't bring myself to beat up one of my autos.
The titanium kit only took about ten minutes to install. Everything screwed together for the bezel and the bracelet has spring pin links.
The crystal replacement is a little more involved but still largely consists of removing the screen module and then pressing the crystal out and gluing the new one back in. It's not very difficult, especially compared to servicing a mechanical watch.
