is there a "home remedy" for polishing my watch face?
should have gotten the crystal face..but NOOOOOO..
i crawled under my home this weekend. for some stupid reason, i figured while i was down there, i could possibly have the need to know what time it is. i forgot to take off my watch. i scratched the face..again. what does the pro use? and can i do it myself? i had the face replaced, not to long ago. |
Red jeweler's rouge or what I use monthly: Griots's "Fine Hand Polish".
|
Plastic polish works.
Some toothpastes work. JR |
Would these work for cleaning up the headlights as well?
|
tooth paste
|
Vash, any way you can mail me the watch? I have a ton of polishing fluids here at work.
|
Toothpaste - fold a small towel in 1/2 - Lay on a firm surface.
Squirt some toothpaste on the face and rub against the towel. You want to do hard enough where you generate a little heat. Presto - scratch gone. |
OOOO steel wool also works but test 1st
|
depending on the quality of the crystal you may also rub/polish off any anti glare coatings. If the crystal isnt coated then have a at it,
dont press too hard or build up too much heat , the crystal can crack or pop out of its seat |
Brasso
Worked like a charm polishing out 30+ years of scratches on my grandfather's old '77 Seiko Worldtime. |
Any old "Chrome Polish" will do it. Metal Gleam, SimiChrome, etc.
