What material is the crystal made out of ? Is it really glass ?

Usually for acrylic you can use polywatch or toothpaste (so I've heard).

For glass or mineral glass it can be a bit more complicated. I believe some use a dremel tool and one of those heads made for polishing.

I think I've heard some people use cape cod polishing cloth and even sandpaper (you have to use multiple grits from the highest to the lowest, depending on how bad it is).

I once experimented with Caesium oxide which is used for car windows. Couldn't get any result. The most promising I've heard is varying grades of diamond paste which you can get off of eBay and such for a reasonable price.

Flat and circular mineral? Should be able to measure it and get a generic off of a material house of your choice.

What watch do you need it for ? Mineral glass is cheap and can be found in almost all dimensions (diameter/thickness).

I don't think so, but you can easily measure the original glass with a vernier gauge once you have it pressed out.

cerium oxide, a little water and a felt wheel in a dremel works wonders, just keep it wet, and use medium pressure and keep the wheel moving. Cerium oxide is available online from a lot of different sources, 8oz will go a VERY long way.....a very light oil will also work in place of water, you just want a paste like consistency, not too runny or too thick. Cerium oxide will also give a nice final polish to metal surfaces, but I would definitely use oil instead of water for the mixing medium.
