Seiko 5M62 0DF0 crystal?

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).

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

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.

    • Interesting interpretation of "traditional". I would say that Loctite is definitely the up-to-date and appropriate stuff to use, however, it is a relatively modern solution. Before the advent of such esoteric solutions I believe that the "traditional" thread locker of choice may well have been a sugar solution. Once applied the water would evaporate and the sugar would crystalise, locking the threads tight.
    • @steve1811uk close but no cigar 🙂 I don't smoke anyway. I checked in my stock of parts and that's the closest I got to your dimensions. Good luck in your search. @RichardHarris123 I have an accumulation of all sorts of odds and ends that I acquired as a result of buying up the tail ends of old watchmakers estates. Usually after all of the great stuff has been stripped out, which means that the sweepings off of the workshop floor can be had for peanuts, but if you have the patience, can often be found to contain gold (both literally and figuratively 🙂 ). These came to me through on of those purchases. I doubt that I will personally be able to make use of even 10% of my accumulated stock, but having it, and knowing what I have, means that I can at least pass bits on to those who can use it whenever possible.
    • Hi and thank-you for your suggestions, as per Mark's instructions I checked my browser "Safari" and spell check and grammar was not ticked. So all sorted. Thanks CJ  
    • As an alternative, clear nail Polish, the advantage is you can have a manicure at the same time. 
    • I use Grammarly. It works really well and If English is not your first language, you will also receive help with formulations. There is a free version that covers most of my needs. It installs as a plug-in and works with all browsers and word processors.
