Sounds like you’re not happy with that -69, send the watch back to me for a full refund 😗

I hate to encourage you goofballs because just change the damned crystal already! but you can get a Novus plastic polish kit with graded polishes or buy them separately, the choice is yours. Their Heavy Scratch Remover will likely take care of you.

I think I will try some on my headlight lenses today....

About the only thing that is 'guarantee to work, IME, is the sandpaper. A lot of work though.

I use a 6” diameter soft muslin buffing wheel on a 3,600 rpm buffer, and a polish called Crystal Clear. Works magic. But doing it by hand buffing? If you are, I can see why it might be tough to do. Polished this one just a few days ago. It was a mess.

After the sandpaper 1000 and 2000 treatment, try the Sonax Nano Pro Scratch Remover for Plastic.
In my humble opinion it works even better than Polywatch.

What would a crystal replacement cost? I do understand some would want to keep the watch original. The few watches I own all have sapphire and are scratch resistant so far.

This will give you a general idea though I think some of these prices are a bit high. Direct from Omega, possibly as low as $25 for some.

Omega has jacked up all the prices on various items the last few years, including acrylic crystals. The resellers are now sometimes much cheaper than Omega direct is...
