There's just no way to polish a glass crystal for all practical purposes. As a vintage Rollie enthusiast, I find it humororous that many fellow vintage lovers try to duplicate that injury to your watch, to make it look 'more 'vintage'. You're on the right track though; if you can't live with that scratch- sell it on this forum and order a new one from Lawrence for 90 USD shipped.

Good luck, Arty
I wouldn't do it- I wore a Submariner while cutting my grass, and one of the luminous markers was floating around the dial when I finished. Maybe best not to subject a rep to higher impact activities... Arty
IMHO, that strap looks best on a tool watch, not a jewelry or dress watch. If you like it, wear it well. Hey, you'll probably own many others to wear in your weekly rotation- here are some of mine, and some stock photos of how I think the NATO was meant to look:
Ciao, Arty
I've got a theory about that photo but without mentioning it, can anyone comment on the deep wear on the lugs from the bracelet? I'll settle for my steel Gevril asymetrical pushers until someone plunks down the $$$ and posts their own photos. Arty
Just that particular one was a fantasy model (by rep forum member terms)- a more proper term would be 'movie prop'...

Unfortunately, silver. Although it is not a bright silver, and about 80% of the time depending on what position it is in, they appear black if that makes any sense...Arty
I think most have seen these already, but since this thread is dragging on and on, here are my meager in comparison, shots of my non-modified specimens captured with my feeble Sony Handycam- please ignore the Yachty...
Ciao, Arty
