Looking good! If you wear it often, you will probably get more scratches anyways..
The buckle is not 18k..what is it then? |

Excellent, if it is true it will scratch anyway maybe you would want to leave it like is. Congrats

Those crystals polish easily.
Clean it up. Get the correct buckle. |

You could try Polywatch. Just put a little on the "crystal" and rub with a cotton rag for a couple of minutes. Repeat as needed.
I use to have a hesalite crystal Speedy and this usually made it look like new. You can buy Polywatch from ebay. |
