Managed to scuff the NR coating on my PO crystal. Will be removing it now. I'll post final result.

Still going to spend a little more time on it, but looking brand new.

I'll admit it - when I saw METAL POLISH and the bezel not being taped off, I cringed. However, you can't argue with the results.

It's just a watch. I always have a go myself with anything like this, if I make a mess it goes to Omega anyway. So far, all my efforts on various watches have been successful.

Would it work the same way with Polywatch?

Tried Polywatch and did very little. I think Polywatch is for plastic?

Indeed. It is very efficient on hesalite.
Good to know that this AR coating can be removed then. I saw several threads on the net showing the coating being scratched, especially on SMP300.
I don't get why they don't just stick with AR on the inside 😕

Yep, not much difference on this crystal to be honest, don't think there was too much AR on this one? I removed it of one of the latest 300smp's and you could actually see the colour on the polishing head.
