What time is it? Watches and horology

Just bought a MN strap for soon to arrive BB58. Went for Sahara.

Not perfect, but better.

Good job. I've tried using poly on a scratch which I'm sure I can get rid of but I think I was approaching too gingerly. Did you use cotton wool and just lightly buff? Or do I need to be more aggressive/use something else?

My Polywatch came with a couple of cloths, I just used one of those and a degree of pressure.

Impressive!

Some acrylics are treated with a anti scratch compound which prevents polywatch from working. I discovered that after failing to buff out a puppy tooth scratch from my Junghans.

Interesting - that might be it. Will give it another go with a watch/glasses cloth before admitting defeat.

What was your process? Good job! I'm curious if I can use it on the plastic cover of a camera that a crow has scratched up.

Good job. I can’t see any residual marks in the pic. Watch looks great.

Am I right in thinking you can't polish out scratches on Seiko glass?

What was your process?

Very simple, put the watch on a bit of rubber to stop it moving around, then dab polywatch on the crystal where the scratches are/were, and apply a bit of pressure with the included cloth to polish until the crystal is clean and clear.

I took the opportunity afforded by a long conference call which I didn't have to contribute too for long stretches to quietly work away at it.

There are marks left, but another conference call should get them out.

Gone back to the suede strap for a bit

Having bought this due to this thread, I've been enjoying it alot. Couldn't get on with the NATO so got a rubber strap which I much prefer

I must Confess to not owning a NATO strap.

Was in Florence for the day and loved this VC store. Didn’t walk away with an overseas ultra thin just yet.

So you can pray for a lottery win while you browse. I saw an Overseas (not the ultra thin) in the flesh recently and was pretty impressed.

My Ollech and Wejs chronograph is in the return post after a serious bit of TLC from Mr Atelier, I feel bad I sent him such a filthy project but he’s performed miracles. Crown stem jizz.

I bent a pusher on my Junghans Max Bill while taking a backpack off yesterday. Second time it has happened. I've come to consider this a design flaw. Its all very well having a delicate and elegant design but if a component can't sustain a very light bit of lateral pressure, it probably needs beefing up a bit.

Max Bills are for Architects and fairies tho. #justsayin 😎

They’re quite nice those JLC Polaris but they’ve used Arial for the numbers on the rotating bezel, which always upsets me on expensive Swiss watches.

OP 39? I do like those. I think the 36 is a nicer size but the white and black dial 39s are great too. Slightly more classic dial design than the 36.

I'm proud to consider myself a fairy so it's all good.

It is an incredibly fine watch.

I don't think they could have made those hands any thinner...

I guess that is part of the appeal. 😎

lovely. what is the ref?
