This kit really works. His instructions are on point! The polishing cloth really helps as well as rubbing in the polywatch before hand. Highly recommend this kit! Thank you!

i actually ordered Poly Watch yesterday so the timing of your video is so welcome....thanks , i will follow your advice.👍... i'm not using it for my MoonSwatch, i have a 16 year old swatch that needs the Poly Watch treatment, i love the Moonswatch but my Swatch Irony all stainless steel chronograph is the one i really really love.
@LD-tq4hcАй бұрын
Great instructions, cleared up the scratches on my moonswatch. One extra tip is you really do need to apply a lot of pressure with the cloth. I was fairly gentle at first and it didn't work but when I pressed firm, it worked.

Seems like a really fragile watch. Perhaps the best way to truly preserve it would be to cover it completely in a massive clear acrylic cube - like one of those see-through trophies people make for awards. Then you could put the watch on the shelf as eternal decoration.

I got my MoonSwatch „professionally“ polished in a Swatch Store two days ago and the completely ruined it. The Glas had multiple little craters with 0.5-1mm diameter on it. It looked like bubbles from applying too much pressure on the crystal while polishing it. It now got replaced but still it was a quite bad experience to see how a three week old watch got destroyed by untrained staff.

It's sad that Swatch decided to make this rather pricey watch delicate to the point of absurdity. I was intending to buy one but even at half the cost it would still be an insult and that's what really hurts. Such contempt for customers will only increase considering the very strong reception this thing had. We can only hope for a backlash as the reality sinks in.

It’s on my wrist now and I don’t hear anything and I’m in a quite room.

This watch should have had a G-shock type resin/shock resistant adventure worthy construction, for the price. It didn’t have to be luxury, just durable. It could have been a complete home run with long term production viability for both brands. Now it’s going to lose it’s lustre and eventually be a liability for the brand as this relatively expensive cheap watch starts to disintegrate.

Better buy the Pagani Design speedmaster hommage! Costs€130,- and has a sapphire crystal! Japanese quartz movement and is waterproof up to 100mtr. Looks the same only has the Pagani brand and no Omega written on it. For many... that's an issue! I think it is the PD-1701.....but i'm not entirely sure. In US dollars it's even cheaper!

I bought one of those. Yes it has sapphire and a decent VK63 meccaquartz movement but: the bracelet is not well made, very rough and links aren't articulating correctly, there's dust on the dial and the bezel is misaligned. I sent it back. The thing with Pagani Design is you get what you get for the price, once you're lucky, and in my case, several times not so lucky.
