watch crystal scratched - what to do?

[petercam]

Looking for some advice here from the experts - I have a watch that is of some sentimental value, that got scratched on the glass so that it is quite noticeable. Is it possible to polish it out, or would I be looking at getting the glass replaced. If replacement, is it something I could attempt myself or would it be best left to the experts? Any idea of the cost of replacing the glass - I'm sure its a fairly cheap watch, so I'm not wanting to spend a lot of money on it. Excuse the make, I'm no connoisseur of watches, and I'm sure it is Jap crap, but I like the look of it and it was my first chronograph watch.

Picture of offending scratch which runs from between 11 and 12 to the left of the date window.



All advice appreciated (except maybe 'Throw it in the bin' )

Anyone heard anything from Bry? I've not had any responses from him for over 3 weeks.

He's had to take some time out apparently, I'm sure normal service will be resumed as soon as.
