Does one ever polish a crystal? Having it raised would make that much easier (also if one does, tell me who can do it to mine, my crystal is scratched to the point where I can't read my watch if the main lighting is behind me).
- jerlam 10mo agoHaving a soft but easily polishable crystal made of acrylic was a feature of old military watches. The softer crystal was more easily scratched, but fixable; and less prone to shattering, which would completely break the watch.
- walletdrainer 10mo agoIt might be possible, but I’m quite sure nobody does it with newer crystals. The replacement costs just aren’t high enough to justify the effort Also, they just don’t really scratch.
- aidenn0 10mo ago> Also, they just don’t really scratch. Do I need to take a photo of my crystal? Maybe mineral crystals don't scratch but glass ones certainly do.
- walletdrainer 10mo agoSure, but I was referring to new high-end watches which mostly use sapphire crystals. If you have a glass crystal, you can easily polish that at home. There’s a polywatch polishing paste you should look at.
