🙁

Just got round to looking at some photo's I took a while back and just realised that my baby has a scratch, what's more galling is I know when and how it happened but couldn't see a scratch at the time so wasn't worried, but its there, all sparkly and clear, my beautiful watch has its first proper scratch.

Oh, well I suppose it was inevitable and going to happen at some point but it still hurts. 🙁

Yes its Hesalite, a scratch magnet apparently, but I hear that it is good enough for walking on the moon so I guess I can cope with a the odd scratch now and again. 😗

It will be fine. Order a tube of polywatch. No hassle.

That’s called character Martin.

Polywatch or a bit of Brasso does the trick - back better than new in no time. Mind the Bezel and you’ll be fine in no time

Mine is circa. 20 years old- worn day in and day out for 15+ years, it’s hit a load of door frames in its time, gone through a load of brasso and poly Watch. Still looking pretty good.

Ha , what a coincidence. I had a quite a few scratches on mine some were quite deep. Just couple of hours ago I took some 1200, 2000, 4000, 8000 grit paper and then some polywatch and ..

Took me about 15 min. Just mind the bezel/insert. It'll be fine.

Don’t listen to everyone else. It’s irreparable and should be discarded. You can send it to me and I’ll take care of disposal.

In a pinch and traveling, I used toothpaste. Turned out perfect.

Sorry, but the wife beat you to it she said exactly the same, she's loved the watch since I bought it and wants it for herself, but she's not getting it. 😀

In that case I’ll throw my lot in with the Polywatch crowd. Use it on all my watches.

And btw- my 47 year old Speedy, which I have owned for almost 20 years, is on at least its 3rd crystal and second bezel.
