Use a bit of Kleenex instead of the cloth at first and you really only need a lentil sized piece. The combination of the fiber in the tissue helps with the melting of the plastic which is the reaction created by heat and the chemicals in the polywatch. If the scratches are still there then go over it again but in hundreds of these crystals that I have done I have never ever used the amount you did. One. Tube has lasted me four years and hundreds of crystals. Use a cloth only to buff off the finish. Likewise. If you put the Kleenex in a zip lock bag there w.ill be enough to do minor scratches on quite a few other crystals. Remember, polywatch is not a scratch remover, it works by very slightly melting the plastic so as to fill the scratches!
So considering you said it will most likely be a once per year thing is $8 all that bad? They say that toothpaste is just as good but I haven't tried it yet
Very educative sir. Very! Keep it up Chris! By the way your Omega Speedmaster professional is amazing. What!? I said that because I am an Omega Fan? Yes it's true!
I wish I could say it worked, but nope. Tried for three hours with over 3 dozen applications (ordered 2 tubes). Had a feeling my crystal was a really bad lost cause because the scratches were so deep you could feel them with your fingernails, but it didn't even diminish them either a single bit. Thanks for the advice though!
That's because this stuff is for plastic it don't work on glass you need the polywatch for glass. Comes in a red and white syringe. The white tube is only for plastic watch faces
@@jamesdanielwrightI had tried the glass polish version that comes in the syringe not long after the failed results of this. Did not work either, but thank you for trying to help.
Jose Perez II good advice. I don’t use cotton swabs or cotton balls on the main face bc cotton can actually leave tiny micro scratches. I use swabs around the curved hesalite. The main face I use a fine microfiber or t shirt.
Some internet geek commented that you can only do polywatch 7x or something. Do you know anything about the limits of it? You banged yours up pretty bad/quick!
The speedmaster professional till date is the only NASA approved for use in space missions after doing 11 torture tests that cause Rolex and Longines to stop and fail in the 60s. If sappire crystal were used and shatter in space due to pressure or knocks, there will be hundreds of fragments and bits floating in the shuttle while acrylic crystal only cracks into big pieces.
Buy NOVUS 2 plastic polish instead. Polywatch cost $1 for .06 ounces. NOVUS 2 costs $1 for .75 ounces. So polywatch costs 1250% more. If you want to make a 1250% profit just buy the NOVUS and put it in a tube that says Polywatch.

Thanks for the great tips! Do you think it’s necessary to tape off the bezel with painters tape as seen in some other RUclips videos?
I use a dremel with a buffing wheel and it takes less than a minute to polish most watches. Love the Polywatch!
Great stuff! Never knew you could do that. Have to order some Polywatch. Thanks for sharing Chris.
They make one for mineral crystal too and it works . Just have to be patient .
What's it called?

What watch?

It only works on acrylic, if you have crystal it won't work. It melts the acrylic and fills in the scratches with the melted acrylic.
Is there a risk to scratch up the bezel (tachymeter on this watch) or nah?
helder gaspar nah. Polywatch is mild. I use it every 6 months or so on my speedy. I wouldn’t get too much on the bezel and rub, but you’ll be fine
Jose Perez II good advice. I don’t use cotton swabs or cotton balls on the main face bc cotton can actually leave tiny micro scratches. I use swabs around the curved hesalite. The main face I use a fine microfiber or t shirt.
Jose Perez II yessir. Try it with a microfiber that you get with glasses, not the car type.
Some internet geek commented that you can only do polywatch 7x or something. Do you know anything about the limits of it? You banged yours up pretty bad/quick!
I never heard of any limits. Eventually you would rub through the crystal but I imagine that would take a long, long, long, long, time.
Excuse my ignorance but why would such an expensive watch have a acrylic crystal ?
i was gonna ask the same ? but that answer makes sense

Good video. Useful stuff
Dang... didn't knew few buck is expensive when you own a thousand dollars watch
Can't save money by wasting it.

Thanks for the recommendation!
