Tudor Prince Oysterdate crystal

[paulfromdevon]

Hi

I'm a new forum member so bear with me - I'm not sure I'm posting this in the correct section of the forum.

I have a 1997 Tudor Oysterdate which I have had since brand new and the crystal now has a couple of scratches on it which I would like to sort out. I was thinking of using Polywatch scratch remover but I see that this is for acrylic watch crystals.

Can anyone tell me if the crystal in my Tudor is acrylic or glass....I don't want to ruin the crystal by using the wrong product. The crystal is original and has never been replaced or repaired.

If Polywatch is unsuitable any other recommendations for scratch removals?

Many thanks

Paul

Clear photo or model number is necessary to tell if you have plastic or sapphire

Hi sorry - model number 74000

thanks

My wife wears a 72000 w/ Prince Date dial circa 2001 that has a sapphire crystal. My guess is an Oysterdate dial from 1997 might indicate a acrylic crystal.

Hi all

Well I tried polywatch and it did not do anything to the small scratches on the crystal. However to be honest I think they add a bit of real life to the watch and after all it is to be worn rather than just looked at.

I have decided that there are more pressing things to be worried about in the world than a couple of scratches

Thanks for the replies on this

hi,

your oysterdate is 74000 or 74000N ?

74000 plastic crystal ( ref: 25 - 143)
74000N sapphire (ref : 25 - 283C )

your crown and case back are rolex or tudor engraved?

[paulfromdevon]

Hi - I think it is the 74000 - not sure what the difference is to be honest, yes it has the rolex crown and case back

thanks

74000n is sapphire crystal. Mine is also 1997, Tudor started with sapphire in 1994 so yours are likely to sapphire as well
