Retro digital Watches

[Stretch]

Do we have a resident expert on retro digital watches.

I'm interested i knowing whether the glass/plastic can be polished with a glass fibre pen and then polywatch to take out minor scratches, without disturburbing any of the text on the glass (is the test imprinted on the inside of the glass/plastic)

I know there is a bit of a cult following for retro digitals and have found a doer upper to work on whilst i'm struggling to find mechanical watches to work on.

I shall post some before and after pics of the project once ive finished it.

cheers,

Hi As long as the text is on the inside of the plastic should be ok, Auto chrome cleaner works just as well to remove licht scratches

thanks watchweasol, that also saves my buying some polywatch, as i have some Autosol.

 

Probably hard to tell if it's on the outside or inside without taking a bit of a gamble i guess

Even if the printing is on the outside, you could mask off the area with the text on it, and carefully polish the rest. 

Do you have a picture of the watch?

I use T-Cut car polish, which is pretty similar.
