  • My SM scratched

    My Spacemaster glass has a very fine scratch line, about 1 cm length, can't feel when move the finger over it, can only see it in a angle about 45 degree.
    Try clean it with cloth but in vain, any other method to suggest?

    Thanks.

      Maybe it's the AR which got scratched. Over some time, u will feel alright. My PO has quite a no. of these fine scratched hairlines on the AR coat too. After some time, there's nothing abt those lines anymore. U can wear it even to do housework. Ha haha... Otherwise, try removing e Outer AR using "Polywatch".Juts a suggestion

        Is there any AR coating on the outer face? I thought only inner face got AR.
        If nothing can be done, just learn to live with it, maybe the 2nd scratch is coming..haha who know?
        Changing the sapphire will be too ex I guess..

          Is it sapphire glass? Try diamond paste

          Only diamond can polish sapphire. But the scratch must be very small. Have tried the paste on tiny scratch < 2mm and it disappeared but took a lot of rubbing. Otherwise may just have to change the crystal.

              Hi Ben,
              If it's just the AR then better leave it.
              If it's really the sapphire...which is rare bcos sapphire is v hard Moh 9.
              Only diamond Moh 10 can scratch it, or other Moh 9 and above stuff...
              I wouldn't dare polish it myself, what if worsen?
              Try on an old watch crystal perhaps?

                Yes, i think for ball watches, they have the AR coating on both the surfaces.... correct me if i am wrong...

                  don't think you can do much to it. Acrylic still can but sapphire with AR coating very difficult. Guess its ok, cannot expect the watch to be free from these scratches if you wear them. Maybe next time can just change the crystal...
