Is the polishing compound for polishing cases or for crystals?

Dialux is for metals. You can see their recommended uses on Cousins UK or other sellers.

For glass crystals diamond paste is used. And generic car abrasive or polish paste for acrylic.

I just ended up with a watch I would actually want to attempt polishing, but can't justify you justifying the shipping to the US (I'm pretty sure I recall you being one of the many UK-based members). I appreciate the gesture though, and hope others will follow suit. Could be a really cool karma system in the making. We used to do this with car parts back in my air cooled VW club days. If I wasn't so green and completely lacking anything worth passing on, I'd certainly be one to put something up.

I use Dialux just because it's cheap and comes in various types. I'm sure some equivalent is available in the US. Also, for totals below GBP 25 Cousins can ship post, which is very cheap.

I'm not, but that doesn't make any difference.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
