    Anybody know the difficulty of polishing/removing scratches from a crystal? My dad gave me several of his watches a few years back and I recently started wearing an old Hamilton(probably from the 70s) from the mix. It works like a champ but has some scratches across the face. I didn't know if this is something I can buff out or if it needs a jeweler to do it right?

    I can post pics if needed when I get back to the house.

    Thanks in advance
    I am guessing it is Polycarbonate vs actual glass. You can try this https://www.amazon.com/Polywatch-Pla.../dp/B0014R9V9O

    • It does have a plastic feel to it, so being polycarbonate makes sense. I'll give it a try.

I need something now for him with Arkansas colors. This is what we had for him, so looking for something along these lines and not with a metal band. TIA

        Maybe go with a white face and order and after market maroon/crimson band.

I would have preferred to see the face get cleaned up a bit better, though I'm ignorant to whether or not that's even possible for whatever reasons.

                    That was a great video and lets you see exactly how most watches are made to this day, I believe they keep that basic design. I was very impressed on how it came out and understand why he kept it vintage looking. Maybe on the face and crystal (plastic) he can't get those parts anymore.

                    • I like Omega Speedmasters, but they've become so common that I stopped considering them. Until I saw this.

                      This is the Omega Speedmaster "Silver Snoopy" and it is just so frakin' cool. I seriously looked around to buy one but they're already sold out unless Omega makes another run of them. Retail was ~$8000.

                      My wife was telling me I can only buy it if she's allowed to wear it.. HA!

                      Anyways, check it out. It's a very cool watch.

                        Cool watch, I am actually wearing a Speedmaster right now, but it AINT $30k+ cool.

                        And as far as them being common, although every collection should include one, I have never came across another person wearing one in the wild.
