1:04 here is the scratch hard working.... 7:11 the scratch still there thanks for watching

Glassblower here; cerium oxide is creating microscopic flame combustions to polish the glass. It will not polish scratches itself with one go magically- the scratches need to be removed by a lower grit (80 being excessively rough and removes layers quickly, 600 being incredibly soft and barely noticeable) and then the remainder, now-surfaced glass needs to be final-step-polished with cerium oxide which brings a 400-600 grit polish to a flame-polished fully clear look. Also, due to the polish method cerium uses to achieve it's crystal clear luster, you need to cool the micro combustions with at minimum constant drop-lets of water. Note: Wear gloves, highly skin irritant, cerium oxide is very toxic and proven to be cancerous. Do not inhale.

You have very little control over this as you're taking the Dremel to the watch. The spinning metal chuck of the Dremel will damage the watch bezel for sure when you slip. You'll find it's easier if you fasten the Dremel into a small desktop vice, switch on and take the watch to the Dremel where you will have much more control. I'd also remove the bracelet and the movement from the case as the vibrations from the Dremel could damage the movement. Use plenty of water for cooling as the glass will expand with the heat and crack, if you have a "Press" I'd remove the Crystal too which then gives you the option of replacing the Crystal as scratch removal isn't as easy as it seems. Crystals cost from $5 for Acrylic to around $7 and up for glass which you then have to ask yourself "is it worth all the risk and bother".

A tip for the Dremel if you use it free hand rather than in a vice, is to put some tape around the core of the attachment you are sanding with. If you don't, you'll risk putting more scratches on the surface as the Dremel can jog in your free hand. I recommend electrical tape.

Thank you! This really helped me remove a massive scratch from my watch

Nice, it’s so satisfying when you’re finished. I find Mothers rubbing compound (probably any rubbing compound) works well for the lighter scratches without a lot of mess.

You should really tape up the outer bezel with the orange dots to protect it so u only hit the glass/crystal.

I did my own method aim my Apple Watch and it came out perfectly! You had the right idea just needed to start further back with some course grit

What you’re doing is more for finish polishing or extremely light scratches. In your case, take the crystal out and hand sand it starting with 400 grit paper, working up to 2000. Then you polish it and it will be immaculate.

A whole Year passed, sir. Are you still polishing that watch ? lol where is 2nd video ?

have you try using autosol/flitz compound onto the glass with dremel ?

Excellent Video! Thank You so much!

Sandpaper wet. Decrease the grit as you go. Worn out pieces toward the end, then polish with the machine to finish.

Hello, I have a titanium Citizen Eco Drive. Would you advise polishing the titanium or not? Thanks for any advice.

Always been curious about a method for polishing glass crystal. Very cool indeed.

With my Dremel tool less is more when it comes to applying pressure. It's best to just speed it up and let your hand guide it. Ive found that it actually does a better more consistent job than pressure

thank you for the video, what is the follow up video to this one? Thanks

Hi! May I know how the crystal turned out? Thank you!

That's a cool watch man. The owner is clearly a discerning chap ....nice .

If I dont have that powder, would buffing the glass still help with the tiny scratches?

Thanks man, worked great!

I love watches keep it up bro 🔥😎

Wow dude nuts!

Meguiar's ultimate compound. Worked perfect to remove a fine scratch on my brand new seiko. So relieved it's gone, managed to do it by hand.

have you got the link to the follow up video??

Did you ever do the followup video for this? Also, would this process work on getting the scratches out of glasses? Thanks so much!

good video ..what is wudder to Cerium oxide ratio?

Great video, does this also work on acrylic and mineral glasses vice versa? :D

Invest in a flat vise and be extremely delicate when putting the watch in or a jewelers vice.

Some real precision work.......in the comedy department!

Can I use the same method with smart watches?

I use glycerine soap from a Health food store just as a lark I lathered it up and applied some to the crystal of my watch then dried it off in a circular motion. To my surprise, most of the scratches disappeared. What did I discover?

Are you kidding me? 🤔I was thinking how professional your introduction was! Good Job...And thanks for the great vid👍😉🇨🇦

What type of wheel u use ? Is nylon ? Is sandpaper i cant see because is already dirty . Can i have some help

Funny story. I decided to buy a dremel. But I thought "I have made it this long without a dremel, so I will probably ONLY use the thing for watch glass repair. I don't want to spend a lot of money on one." Went to Amazon with that in mind, and ended up landing on the EXACT tool you are using here.

What is that material paste like that you have used to put on the glass ??

Can you do this on a G shock for similar scratches

Can you post a follow up to show the finished product. I’m curious to see if the scratch was completely removed.

He will end up scratching the crown with the way he angled the machine relative to the watch. A better way is to use a larger diameter ( suggest at least 2cm) round Cotton pad and not the tapered pad he used

Thank you! I dropped one of my nicer watches and had a very small scratch...which I cant remember if it was there to begin with but now in the future I know it can be repaired if needed.

you need to start with an abrasive course enough to remove the biggest scratch.. like 600 ish.. .. then work up.. like 800-1000-1500-2000.. . then polish.. you cant polish out a deep gouge directly like that..

Wow! I own a watch identically like this Eco Drive. But the crystal is still virgin. I'm watching this because of a vintage Eco Drive that's been through hell and back.

I tried this and the glass heated up to such an extent that the hands fell off.

Brasso metal polish works great as well.

Hi where do you get the cesium oxide?

Last watch I bought at K-Mart the battery died and I tried to take the back plate off with a screw driver which didn't work but left me with a lot of scratches. Will this take those out or should I give the watch to my brother for his Birthday gift? P. S. I like the classy Italian Frank Sinatra intro. 🇮🇹

lol that one scratch as you can see is still 4 kin there? WOT! 🤣😂

Deep scratches I use 400 wet and dry then upto 7000 , tried this paste but it only works for very light scratches, if your not careful this way the glass will get hot and cracked. PS done that so check the heat on the glass

Can this be used on mineral glass or is it for sapphire?

Quicker and cheaper to replace it

Would jewellers rouge work? Red wax

Video is titled, "Remove scratches easily from your watch crystal'. After machine buffing the result is scratch not removed. Fail!

Bro even my watch has scratch on it can you remove it plz

So, wheres the part 2 Joe?

What liquid that

maybe you got the scratch off the crystal, but you should really showcase the chonk marks you made from the gnurled tip on that dremel hahahahahahaha

This is absolute comedy. Do another watch bro!

Make sure it actually is glass, not plastic, the friction will melt the plastic!

Where can I get cerium oxide?

I hope your day job is not a dentist 😂

quedo igual no se desaparece la rayada

Stup... you never got rid of the scratch! 🤣😂😅

What about using the Rouge that comes with the Dremel?

Also don't let these negative comments take away from your vids. People always put folks down instead of just recommending a better way(some not all). Anyway thx for working on your watch in your personal time instead of playing a damn video game or the like...

Can I polish a DVD this way ?

A 'second' video to see the payoff?! Ya learn that from the adult sites?🤣Just playing around... thanks for posting. I had no idea that scratch powder was available. Handy product.😎⌚️

It's like watching a horror film

Love that intro 💯🔥💪🏾

Is that shappire?

where is the result??

This seems to be a good way to get out of your engagement.

You from Philly?

nice watch im a citizen man too, eco drives

I cannot tell if this works, as you never made the other video.

I hate the be that guy but scratches that deep are not going to be removed with cerium oxide. You're going to have to use a coarser abrasive and properly mask off the bezel of the watch at a minimum or even possibly remove the crystal from the watch itself to properly repair it. Personally, i would have removed the crystal and flattened the it on a diamond lapping wheel then progress through the grits and finally finish with cerium oxide.

Where is the new video?

the second video?

Wow - that looked dangerous...

Poor watch! I would not recommend this method. Your finger and a microfiber cloth is the most you need. I bet that bezel got chowed.

Wai ayo imong tutorial

I got to 27 seconds into the vid, then scrolled on....

You picked the right name , average joe. This tutorial should have been called how not to destroy your watch. The way the watch was sliding around the table was horrible. The metal on the drill came awfully close to the bezel and crystal. You at a minimum should have prepped the watch bezel and case with masking tape. The uneven pressure applied to the crystal and crazed inconsistent motion can’t be good. I would imagine an even consistent motion in one direction with lite measured pressure would make more sense. You would not use this method on a fine time piece like a Patek , Rolex or a beloved inexpensive watch. You might as well hit the watch with a sledge hammer to get the scratches out. Leave this to a professional and even then be vigilant. WOW !

What a clumsy job !

I find toothpaste works.

The lack of care shown to the watch and bezel was making me cringe... Next time, secure the watch, mask off the bezel and use a stand for your camera so you have 2 hands.

A crystal like that is worth $2. Replace that shit and call it a day.

Polishing will only get the micro scratches away. If your watch crystal looks hazy or slightly translucent, polishing helps remove the haze away. Just like polishing your car headlamps that gets hazy after a while. It does NOTHING to remove anything other than the finest scratches. Think about it. It is impossible to remove a scratch unless you get rid of the surface until it is the same level with the base of scratch. That is just too much to do even with a machine. You have 3 options. 1. Dont buy a watch 2. Buy only watches with sapphire crystal 3. Buy ultra cheap watches. Throw away when it is scratched. Removing scratches from watch acrylic crystal is much harder than what youtube videos show it to be. Take it from me, it is almost impossible to remove an actual scratch.

You are doing it wrong, you have to polish perpendicular to the scratch.

Bro, that was horrible, that was painful to watch

Watch butchering ! At least protect the watch with tape and wrapping !

Thumbs down because I tried finding the next video and I can't find it.

Very sloppy job.

having to watch another video to see the finished results was a thumbs down for me. i mean really? get with the program of showing complete and finished results in one video like the rest of the planet!!

Lol...I say nothing

Is this supposed to be a joke? 😂

Clumsy man. 😲

Nice intro but too laud:)

And the next video is ... how to repair the marks you just made on the bezel. What a joke !
