Dear enthusiasts,

i have a quite new Speedmaster Professional (Hesalite) with Ref. 310.32.42.50.01.001 (new 2021 version with the 3861 calibre).
Today I am wearing it around 5 days and noticed the first micro scratches in the sun light (ok, one must really look for it to find some).
However I did not notice when they happend and what was the origin of it. Guess this is something to live with for this kind of material. I think I will try Polywatch sometimes in the future for them, but not just right now.

However, another thing happend today during cleaning: A small contaminant in form of a larger portion of fabric / fluff came between the hesalite and the bezel. It seems hard to get rid of it with the micro-fibre cleaning fabric, water or anything.

My question: Has anyone resolved such an issue without dismantling / exchanging the hesalite glass at a watchmaker? Any tricks?
This is a bit annoying looking at the dial from the side and noticing it, even if its quite small.

Kind regards,
Sebastian

 

Hard to get a good focus with a smartphone camera, but here a photo.

 

Guess I answered it myself toothbrush with fine hairs seems a viable option.

 

Compressed air?

 

Or the corner of a piece of paper to “floss” it out

Please do not overspend on Polywatch. You pay a lot of money for a tiny tube of generic product. Get a Novus polishing set.

$7 is a lot of money?

 

For that tiny little tube of nothing special? Yes! Why would you not buy a lifetime supply for $20 rather than maybe a year's product for $7?

 

Because the $7 Polywatch will last me a lifetime.

 

No, it won't.

 

LOL, you're wrong on this one my friend

 

Even once a year, which you will do, will deplete it soon enough.

But you be you!

 

I'll be me...with just one tube of Polywatch

 

Thanks for the answers so far. At the polishing fraction: Do you usually cover the bezel and further parts with something while polishing? I can image that polish also can easily reach the space between bezel and Glas.

 

I bought polywatch tube in 2008, in 2019 I sold watch and still had some of the contents left.

 

Wow, I'm nearing the end of the one I bought in 2018.

It has been used on other plastic bits, but still
