Hesalite or sapphire?

If Hesalite...polywatch it. It's a soft material that's intended to be polished.

If sapphire...how on earth did you manage to do that...fisting a bowl full of diamonds???

It's Hesalite. I know this is part of the "charm" of owning a Speedy, but damn...day 2?

30 second fix.     I've had about 6 hez speedy's.  Only a couple scratches over 10 yrs.

This is the main reason I went with the FOIS Speedmaster. No way I could wear a non-sapphire watch.

I have a 1967 Explorer 1, that is constantly scratched.

It's something you have to live with if you own an older Rolex.

Ouch, do you have a physically demanding job where it can be banged up easily? My pawnshop Seiko literally doesn't have a mark on the crystal after quite a bit of use. The stainless case has many dings and scratches though.

The big hazards to acrylic: desks, doorways, and metal zippers on hoodies & coats. All 3 got me.

Try jewelers rouge with a Dremel tool works great.
