i was a bit drunk the other night and i was wearing my breitling watch whilst i was out on the town.
unfortunatly iv just taken it out of its box and there is a scratch on the glass, does anyone know a way of maybe buffing the glass so the scratch might look a little less nasty?
its not very deep but its quite long!
bugger!
cheers
Ben

Send it back to the factory, they can replace the glass. Buffing generally doesn't work all that well.
Next time you get drunk be sure you're wearing a Timex............

A good watchmakers shop can do a great job but many times they have to order the crystal from the manufacturer anyway. I'd go with Bruces suggestion. I would never try to disassemble a watch.

Fourty years ago at the age of 15, I picked a Navytimer 806 for my watch (well, my parents paid). Six years later I broke the strap and lost it, also in a bar. Even though I have a different mod. one, I am still p....d off. A reputable watch maker in your area should be able to replace the Chrystal. I have heard of a new material, much harder to scratch than a sapphire chrystal.
My Neighbor, who is a diamond cutter, told me about this new material. It's 2:30 AM here. I can try to get a hold of him tomorrow. I collect watches, and any decent watchmaker in your area can replace the crystal. Or you can contact Breitling to recommend someone.

The good thing about sending it to the factory is that you get a warranty.
