They can be polished out if they're not that bad,a watch repairer would have such tools,I could offer to do it for you but I'm no pro so I would offer no warranty mate  :D





[edit] Oh wait I think Paul is the seiko wizard maybe he can get a new glass for it   :think: ;)

I picked up a passable looking Fossil at last weekend's carboot but its crystal is a mess.  I may have had a play but the negative tab for the battery is also missing ::)  The actual movement still works but I don't think its worth the hassle.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Oh well. the scratches are very minor and give the watch some character.

I have an ECO drive Citizen that went in for repair (works) that had a small scratch in the crystal.

After they sent it back to me I called them about a question and asked them about the crystal they said they could have
replaced it for about $35.00 while they had it.

No sooner then I hung up walked thru a doorway and smacked it up against the jamb CRACK went the crystal. :ahhh

I was glad that I didn't have them replace it.

Small scratches are characters until they are bad enough that you can't see them you need to do something. :pok:

If it is too bad send it to me I will trade you something for it. :pok: :D
