    I noticed some fairly deep scratches on my UG Tri-Compax crystal.

    Anyone know what they are made of? Is it possible to buff out with polywatch or something else? Are there replacements available?

    Thanks in advance!

    Where could I find generic replacements for a tri-compax crystal?

    Fairly deep scratches may require the initial use of sandpaper or a coarse grit compound. Following that, you can iteratively move to finer grits, and finally to Polywatch.

    Most likely your watchmaker could fit a generic replacement crystal.
