Use a scrunge sponge or 400+ gritt sandpaper! Pics or it didn't happen!
Seriously... how are you going to try and fix it? Please Post Before & After Pictures.

Plexi?
I did the sandpaper and then copper polish method once, results were pretty good. Nowadays I just use the polishing machine, works great. |

CJ, if you notice it is approximately 4:30AM as I write this… I could not get to sleep, I have been pacing the floor all night (morning) in anticipation of the outcome of your polishing endeavor. For the sake of what is left of my sanity CJ, please… I beg you…. Reveal the results!

Before you try anything crazy, run it through the ball polisher down at the bowling alley.

Similar, yours is the Camper quartz, Mines the MacGyver manual wind. I'm rather fascinated by them. The MacGyvers are relative bargains. But they're still just a Timex. This one served a tour in Iraq and Afghanistan and I have all the soldiers accompanying challenge coins with it. The watch itself isn't worth much but its priceless to me.

Yeah, I got mine for $1 and it lasted a couple years. That’s awesome, I love the stories behind items. Makes you feel that much more connected to them. Sent from my Apple privacy invasion product |

Scratches over the 1 o’clock marker
Finally have an opportunity to try this on one of my own watches.
You can feel the scratch with your fingernail and it’s quite visible. Let see how we can do with some toothpaste and a cloth. Last edited by Chewbacca; 5 October 2021 at 10:33 AM.. Reason: Farted |

I’d start with Novus 2 Plastic Fine Scratch Remover.
Good luck! |
