When most people find a vintage watch stored away in the attic or in a box of assorted odds and ends in their home, the chances are that it won’t be in its original box, which, more often than not, results in scratches to the glass or acrylic face. The good news is that it doesn’t take much effort to get the faces looking as good as they were when made. Polywatch is especially great for superficial hairline scratches as it doesn’t require a lot of grinding of the plastic material on the crystal. However, PolyWatch also works well for deeper scratches, although you need to apply more pressure and polish for a longer period of time. This amazing product works on any glass, regardless of the watch brand e.g, MWC, CWC, Marathon, Rolex, Omega, Seiko etc.

When you are done, it will leave your acrylic or plexi crystal flawless and free of scratches, allowing perfect legibility onto the dial. The benefit of this is that you don’t have to replace your whole watch crystal in case it only has scratches. This is both a cheaper and more effective alternative. When you are done and start seeing results, wipe off any residue from the crystal. You can do this with a clean cloth.Using a piece of cotton wool, polish the the scratched areas for 2 to 3 minutes with great pressure at a right angle to the scratches Most people don’t realise the value of their forgotten vintage timepieces and could find their watch or watches worth their gold weight. Irrespective of perceived values, all watches, particularly those of a certain vintage, deserve to be looked after and, if possible kept in, or restored to their former glory. This is where the kits offered by polyWatch can help. Then it was just a case of some firm polishing over the surface following the angle of the bevelled edge until the scratches went. It didn’t take very long at all; in fact, I was listening to Hotel California by the Eagles and decided I had done enough before the song finished! I tilted the watch face under a bright lamp and will admit I was impressed with my effort. As mentioned earlier, polyWatch offers three kits, but for my timepiece, I only needed to use their glass polish kit. Although the kit was being used on watch glass for this article, it should be noted that the kit can also be used on everything from furniture to cars and even on windows. A type of watch that is particularly sought after in current times is the early edition LED’s, often referred to as digital watches. These watches were a revelation in the early 70s, which is almost half a century ago now. Most of the watches of this era came with glass faces which over time became scratched, and some to the point where the LEDs became almost illegible. Fortunately, I found a couple of LED watches in my attic, which were my father’s, and yes, mine too had scratched glass faces.

The whole process seemed to take no time at all. In fact, I probably spent more time reading the instructions than I did polishing the glass face on the watch! I have yet to try it on my other LED watch, which has even deeper scratches, but given how well the polyWatch glass polish kit performed, I am quite sure the result will be every bit as good. Prior to being introduced to polyWatch, I had little idea of what to do to restore watch glass, some people on the internet suggested toothpaste, and others were saying that I should find a replacement glass. I appreciate all the advice offered to me; however, from now, I’ll only be going down one route, and that requires the use of polyWatch. polyWatch – Where and how?

Either you or someone you know will have an old watch stored away, and there is a chance it could be worth some good money. Nowadays, nostalgia is booming, and so is the vintage watch collecting market. So, when you come across a vintage watch, you should try to keep it looking as good as possible, and one of the simplest ways to do it is with a polyWatch glass polish kit.

polyWatch is the brainchild of Markus Vogtmann and Ulrich Kopp, two watch fans who, while students found their prized Swatch Watch had a scratch in its glass. After considerable testing and experimentation in conjunction with a chemist, they produced a formula for a repair paste that worked and decided to launch it onto the market, and thus polyWatch was born. The short answer is that yes, Polywatch works to remove scratches from watch crystals. Note, however, that this only applies to watch crystals made of plastic, hesalite, or acrylic. Polywatch will not work on sapphire or glass crystals as the abrasive material is not able to grind down the glass as it can with plastic. If you use Polywatch on glass crystals, it can instead cause scratches. How does PolyWatch work? Using the syringe, you apply a small amount of the paste to the glass; it should be noted that polyWatch does not recommend you do this on coated surfaces, just plain glass.
