guide to watch polishing

[east3rn]

Hello.

I recently got interested in watch polishing. 

Since I usually work with vintage watches, I would like to learn how to polish a acryl crystal. I tried polishing acryls by hand with sand paper and Polywatch but

it owed me a quite amount of time and effort. 

Also I want to move on to case polishing as well.

I looked up the internet to find a full guide on watch polishing but I was not lucky enough to find the one that seems like a "complete guide" on polshing.

Would there be a source from which a hobbyist can train oneself to become a pro in watch polishing?

Any advice would be grateful! Thank you and I always appreciate your kindness.

I don't know of a book but you can get a starting point by the video below, and the many, many topics on this forum that you can find using the search box top right.

I created a thread on the question, titled.

' How are stainless steel cases polished '  about two years ago.

Among respsonses, jolly good fellow Jguitron showed samples of his work, told about the compounds, other details and offered to work with me and get me on rolling.

Jdm said it, search for many related topics on the forum.

Best

With browser copy and paste. Go to desired topic or website, click address bar, copy. Then paste into any other topic or whatever else.

You can also highlight text in a previous post, and a highlighted option box *should* pop up to "Quote selection".

Like a lot of things that should just work, this can sometimes be a bit hit and miss, so try selecting the text again if it doesn't work the first time.

See the example below.

Just to avoid confusion, the above is an image, so it generally wont work if you try to select part of an image, but will work if you select text. Try highlighting this BOLD text to see what I mean.

You can also hit the in the editing options and put whatever you like in a "Quote" box like this.
