Diver Dave 0 Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Really cracking job, well done. Acrylic crystal polishong 101: I use "Brasso" brass polish, which has "just" enough abrasive in it to remove scratches. It just takes time with a rag. Go watch a movie and you'll be done at the ending credits. Congratulations on the watch, you did a great job. Bravo!
