Been so back and forth about which speedy to get. This is one of the most satisfying things I have ever seen. Pretty much seals the deal on the hesalite for me thank you

[@JohnConnor636]

Yep. I wanted years before I pulled the trigger. Went with the classic.

[@rustyration]

That included "buffing tool" is meant to go in a Dremel or flex-shaft and spun at low to medium rpms. Overheating these types of crystals is a concern when using large polishing machines so with a Dremel, it might be possible to ruin your hesalite. If your rpms are too high or you attempt to polish for extended periods between inspections, you could melt it.

Looks like a very simple process, and came out looking like new!

[@KCTimeShare]

A great demo! I ended up buying the sapphire version so I don't have to worry about this. Cheers!

[@mark_n_r]

Good idea taping off the bezel but use 1/4 of the paste on the glass. A little goes a long way.

"If you want to buff-away that Omega logo, you gotta get through me!" -the Hesalite Crystal probably

[@thegreatgambinowatchreviews]

🤣

[@rustyration]

@@thegreatgambinowatchreviews but forreal no need to worry. That logo protrudes on the inside so it's impossible to damage from the outside.

[@malthus101]

You didn't show us you using the buffer tool?

[@m.l.679]

Thank you for sharing :) Great vid, like always!!

[@kayron345]

Should’ve used the the chronograph to time the polish 😂

[@malthus101]

Good point!

[@61Husky]

Great video just sitting at the beach and found a nasty scratch 🙏

[@viper20010049]

0:46 The watch has chronograph feature, right?

[@thegreatgambinowatchreviews]

Good point. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

[@eduardwalhout1740]

lol i wouldnt have thought of that either.

[@EdgeOverHedge]

Is it an AR crystal, right?

[@JoshuaPeng]

Less is more when it comes to Polywatch, you could have achieved the same results with 1/10 of what you put on that crystal!

[@thegreatgambinowatchreviews]

I will keep that in mind. 👍🏼

[@jlg395]

Won't you just wear the entire crystal away over time?

[@billynunns]

By the time that would happen, it'll need a service and it would be replaced anyways.

[@visiblemode]

It would take decades of twice yearly polishing to even come close to risking this. The hesalite is a mandatory swap out during servicing. So it’ll get changed every 5-8 years anyway. This is partly due to the water seal on the front being hesalite against metal. No other seal. I assume it’d be foolish to re-seat old plastic to act as a seal, as the edges may get compromised on removal/replacement. It could probably work sometimes, but my understanding is it’s blanket policy to replace. They send back the old crystal, though so you get to keep it if you’re sentimental.
