Remove scratch, seiko 5 glass/perspex

[Irrotational]

I've scratched the clear bit of my seiko 5...any idea if I can buff it out somehow? It is right across the face...

Tcut paint polish is good for Perpex and plastics , you need jewelers rough for glass.

Sorry, it was really two questions, I have no idea what material it is! Sounds like I stand a chance of getting it out though which is good! Thank you!

Get some Xerapol for acrylic if it's mineral glass(window glass) easier to fit new glass.

A Seiko 5 is probably "Hardlex", if so it will need diamond lapping paste, polywatch and similar won't touch it unfortunately.

It's an snkh63j, modified by yobokies...

It's on a few websites but none seem to list the type of plastic/glass.

There was a thread by Harold which mentioned what it was and you could get it swapped for thick "sapphire glass" or something.

But I think That was on tz so can't access it now!

Emailed Harold, as above it is hardlex... Looks like a trip to a jewellers/watch place

Be interesting to know what this costs as mine needs doing too...

Erm... do any of these remedies work for scratched car windscreens? He asked hopefully

If any use to you I had the perspex on my Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date replaced by in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter last week.

Cost £54.00.
Dropped the watch off at 1230hrs and collected 1310hrs (pressure tested and work guaranteed).

Aah, that's excellent. I'm popping into town shortly so might just ceck with a jewler and see what the say (also bidding on another one on bay).

Just to come back on this - I have just got it fixed at a "manufacturing" jewellers...I think the bulk of their work is just mounting stones in ready-made mounts but they also re-size rings on the premises etc...

Anyway the guy whipped it away and came back two minutes later with it looking as good as new...he did it FOC as a favour, and was really busy, so I couldn't really quiz him on what he had actually done.
