Omega speedmaster, NASA requirement.
Acrylic crystal still easy to polish off.
mineral crystal not easy man.. it cost more $$ to replace too

Absolutely correct. Sapphire will break into tiny fragments when hit, that will endanger the astronauts in spaceship. Whereas hesalite or acrylic will only crack.

Normal toothpaste can use to polish the tiny scratches on hesalite/acrylic. Yes, that's true

Mind tell me the procedure of using toothpaste to clean it?? Or just squeeze the paste and use a cloth to wipe it ? My Speedmaster has gone thru sometimes with me so there's loads of scratches

Ya just squeeze little amount of toothpaste and use a clean smooth cloth slowly wipe in circular motion. That's what I did
Show us some before and after pictures

Alright thanks mate

Anyway, here's b4 after...not a much significant difference but it looks clearer and smooth now for me

Before


AFter

hey guys,

i was wondering where do you all change your watch battery? is there any difference if you change it in a established watch shop versus the normal shop (by this i mean any tom d*** and harry watch shop)?

Bro, they just want to protect themselves from selling something below the control price. If they issue a receipt and it leaks out, it serves as an evidence for the company to take legal action against the AD.

Deal with cash, they can give an extra few % discounts if you talk to them bout it Don't know how much discount my AD is giving for omega, if you're around PJ area I can check it out for you after CNY and probably you can get better pricing.

Want to ask, if i'm taking let say 3 watches without the boxes to Australia..will customs charge me tax on these watches?

Don't think they can tax you unless you're bringing it with box and if it's brand new Just declare them as your own use. That's all that you'll need to do heh.

^he's right; in fact, 99.9% of the time, they won't even ask.

jr koh: the AD i went to before gace me 20+5. the salesperson who gave me those discount seems to have left whilst i was away. no idea where he is now, and no one seems to be able to give me discounts like that anymore.

Hey thanks for the valuable information

nobody seems to be replying? can anybody help? cos imma gonna be replacing by battery soon before cny actually.

I change it with the usual shop I go to. If you're around PJ, pm me and I can recommend you Btw, I don't get anything out of recommending it to you lol. I just felt that their service is good as I had a bad experience of going to some shop and they told me the watch was dead while most of the time I just leave it in the box

In fact, they wanted me to get a new watch. I refused and went to another shop and they replaced it for me with no problems at all.
