I have a Fossil blue series auto that is ti, and would like some help getting the crystal polished up nice and purty.
I don't know what material the crystal is, I would assume that it is middle of the road as far as quality goes( the watch retailed at about $250 I believe). Can someone walk me through the products and the procedures for polishing the scuffs out of this?
Is this a dremel job or can I get by with a rag and some compound? What compound would I use? Should I tape off the perimeter to keep from altering the ti?

Thanks in advance,
Nate

You can polish off much of the fine scratches with toothpaste. If your Ti has scratches as well, some Scotch Brite can polish that up. Just rub in the direction of the finish of your watch.

Thanks,
I'll try some toothpaste tonight, although some of the scratches are of the larger variety.
As for the ti, I don't want to mess with the scratches because that is the finish.
Thanks
