Been so back and forth about which speedy to get. This is one of the most satisfying things I have ever seen. Pretty much seals the deal on the hesalite for me thank you
I'm glad to see this. I bought a watch with an acrylic crystal glass and it has scuffed up. Then I remembered somebody told me that one advantage of them is that you can undo damage really well with a thing called Polywatch. It works brilliantly, I don't have to be too careful now.
That included "buffing tool" is meant to go in a Dremel or flex-shaft and spun at low to medium rpms. Overheating these types of crystals is a concern when using large polishing machines so with a Dremel, it might be possible to ruin your hesalite. If your rpms are too high or you attempt to polish for extended periods between inspections, you could melt it.
It would take decades of twice yearly polishing to even come close to risking this. The hesalite is a mandatory swap out during servicing. So it’ll get changed every 5-8 years anyway. This is partly due to the water seal on the front being hesalite against metal. No other seal. I assume it’d be foolish to re-seat old plastic to act as a seal, as the edges may get compromised on removal/replacement. It could probably work sometimes, but my understanding is it’s blanket policy to replace. They send back the old crystal, though so you get to keep it if you’re sentimental.

Yep. I wanted years before I pulled the trigger. Went with the classic.

Looks like a very simple process, and came out looking like new!
The most impressive thing about this video is that your centre omega logo is actually straight
Good idea taping off the bezel but use 1/4 of the paste on the glass. A little goes a long way.
"If you want to buff-away that Omega logo, you gotta get through me!" -the Hesalite Crystal probably
🤣
@@thegreatgambinowatchreviews but forreal no need to worry. That logo protrudes on the inside so it's impossible to damage from the outside.
Thank you for sharing :) Great vid, like always!!
A great demo! I ended up buying the sapphire version so I don't have to worry about this. Cheers!
0:46 The watch has chronograph feature, right?
Good point. 🤦🏻♂️🤣
lol i wouldnt have thought of that either.
Should’ve used the the chronograph to time the polish 😂
Good point!
Great video just sitting at the beach and found a nasty scratch 🙏
You didn't show us you using the buffer tool?
Less is more when it comes to Polywatch, you could have achieved the same results with 1/10 of what you put on that crystal!
I will keep that in mind. 👍🏼
Is it an AR crystal, right?
Won't you just wear the entire crystal away over time?
By the time that would happen, it'll need a service and it would be replaced anyways.
