The Watch Thread - Part 6

[rboyboy]

Thanks for the warning - did not get the bambino.
Wife was keen too until we saw the actual thing. Not as nice.

I feel that the gen 1 bambino is nicer though.

Hi all

I just scratched my Sistem51...(heartpain sia). Quite deep too. Anything I can do to remove the scratch off the crystal of the watch? Like what to buy or what to do. I think Sistem51 uses acrylic for the watch crystal.

Thanks

If it's not too a deep a scratch you can try polishing it off with a polishing cloth like cape cod.

If it's acrylic, a quick google search will find you many solutions...

Polishing Scratches from an OMEGA SPEEDMASTER Watch Crystal - YouTube

some say toothpaste will do in a pinch as well. YMMV...

Polywatch works well on acrylic
At least on my vintage ones

Paiseh should've been clearer, its 300USD just for the movement alone, means a final watch should be around the 1k range

if its <SGD 1K i think theres a market for it.. its a chrono afterall so can charge more

any idea if it hacks and are there any special precautions when changing the date ?

if you're shooting for slightly better quality albeit in a smaller case, orient star which is the more premium line has similar dress watches

thanks for the recommendation but I always wanted a roman numerals watch so badly and the bambino hits the spot
