I can't believe I missed that Waltham last week. Very nice!

Still on the look out for an American for the collection. Waltham wrist watches seem some what hard to come by in decent shape without paying an arm and a leg. The Timex's that I'm eyeing aren't Made in USA. I had no idea Timex was so awesome that Clinton and Bush Jr. were known to were them while in office. They should come out with a President model ala Rolex haha

Here's today's wrist shot accompanied by one on August 17th. After about 5 days of on and off sessions and almost a whole freaking tube of PolyWatch, most of the major scratches don't bother me anymore. Amazing how deep some of the scratches that PolyWatch can get out, but it requires MAJOR elbow grease. Dremel is definitely not for use on acrylic crystal, learned that real quick.

- large scratches between 9 and 10
- large diagonal scratch from 1 to 3
- horizontal marks between 7 and 8
- deep nicks near centre of face

Where did you buy PolyWatch? I need me some of that for some of my watches.

Thanks to Bryn & Stacy at JVair.

There is a place in the NE called "Kens Gems" that sells tubues of Polywatch for $12 or so. I haven't seen it anywhere else in Calgary

#92/999, still waiting on the other one to arrive, should be before next friday

$12 is not bad at all! Next time I'll just buy it at Ken's Gems then.
I got my tube off EBay for $11.66 CAD after shipping and took 2 weeks from the US.

I know it's only for acrylic, but I tried some on mineral glass and it didn't ruin anything, but it also didn't remove any scratches not one bit haha. That stuff makes your arms feel like they want to fall off, but you can see definite progress after ~10 minutes of vigorous buffing on deep scratches. Definitely stay away from power tools unless you got something that does ~5 RPM or something.

Only for acryclic? Hmm... I'm unsure if Seiko are sapphire or acryclic....

[ga16i]

Seiko's are most likely hardlex a type of mineral, so not acrylic nor sapphire.

Are you referring to your pepsi diver? That's probably hardlex. Acrylic is actually warm to the touch and does feel soft when compared to mineral and sapphire.

I haven't tried to remove scratches from mineral glass yet, been doing some reading online and I've got a watch that I wouldn't be too choked to try some stuff on. I'll let you know if I have any success.

Yup. Not sure if I should use it on the Seiko but I have a Citizen moonphase that is in need of a buff.
