Isolation Challenge - Buy a watch for £50 Max

I've found that Mother's Mag Polish can be a beneficial pre-Polywatch step in crystal polishing. Just slightly coarser, it doesn't score crystals and preps them for Polywatch. Very mild on crystals.


I've looked at a can of this sitting on my work bench, but never felt like sacrificing even a bad crystal to try it. For the stout of heart, a duplex can of Clover valve grinding compound (120/280 grit) would either remove deep scratches or else grind a hole through the crystal while attempting it, but sure would require a bunch of finish polishing. Just sayin'.

Thank you, I’m glad you gents think so as I was a bit afraid it would be overpowering- at the same time I really wanted colors that would echo and play off the colors of the watch.
The lady in the shop thought it really complemented very well the gold color of the dial. (Although it’s doubtful of course she would say it’s ugly if they want return business).

Showed it to the love of my life which turned out to be a big mistake as she loved the watch and strap, she has accepted that I can't just go out and purchase such a lovely combination but 🙁

I’m always game for this !

And as it past dinner time I’ll post this one from a couple of months back in its “as received” state. It’s up there with the most disgusting watches I’ve ever received, but just look how good that dial looks under the crazed crystal. About £15 to buy, taken up to about £40 with shipping and import costs. Probably the best deal I’ve had in a year.
