Update: My wife is still in India. My life is in shambles. 3rd day in a row of PB&J’s for the kids lunch’s. I fed them Taco Bell for lunch and a frozen pizza for dinner. The house is destroyed. Pretty sure I made one of them wear the same sweater today, that they wore yesterday….

Late last week, while enjoying wearing the vintage Longines recently acquired from LesXL, I did that which is evil.

Anticipating a Texas "Norther" forecast for the region (otherwise hyped as a "Polar Vortex" by media), I replaced a cover over a hydrant after preparing a heated water bowl for backyard birdies. During the effort, the watch had oriented itself on the outside of my left wrist because I was wearing it loosely. The crystal snagged cruelly against the brickwork while adjusting the hydrant cover, resulting in a dreadful scuff with a deep scratch.

Working the crystal over with Mother's Mag Polish over a couple of days time, followed by a final polish with PolyWatch made the crystal whole again, if somewhat thinned so I am pleased to wear the watch to town for several engagements.

All better now!

This is the real thing, vintage from late '60s or early '70s (with Valjoux 23), not the recent reissue.
