Hi

Right I have put a HUGE scratch in the glass on my watch, my OH bought it for me as a day to day watch at Christmas so It has a sentimental value.

Any ideas where I can get a replacement glass from? Its one of these:

Sorry no idea where to get a replacement

The watch looks great btw. My boss has one and it looks WAY nicer in the flesh than you've any right to expect for £45!

Have you tried rubbing toothpaste into the scratch? Sounds daft, but it can get some lighter scratches out..

You might find that sourcing and having a replacement glass fitted will cost more than the watch is worth I'm afraid.

Good luck though...

About a gazilion watch glasses to pick from.. good luck.

I imagine Sekonda may be able to help? Accurist were awesome in doing my old watch after 5 years. Was about £35so not bad at all and it came back with new bezel, battery, seals and glass!

I bought some Xerapol plastic polish for a plastic window on a convertible it was absolutely hopeless, but I have used it on watches, phones, plastic headlights, all sorts and it really is quite impressive. I would give that a go first.

If it's mineral glass Cerium oxide is the normal medium (which is hazardous to health!) but if it's a domed acrylic crystal you can use (as already stated) toothpaste, brasso, solvol autosol or indeed any other abrasive polish..

Here's an old work watch of mine that had been through the wars with scratches and burns (i'm a burner in a foundry), it's mineral glass but i had a go with wet and dry abrasive paper followed by autosol then a weak brasso mixture..

Before..



After (30 minutes after to be precise)..


Some of the scratches and burns were simply too deep, it would have seriously weakened the crystal to completely remove the blemishes...
