Hit the door frame, luckily no sparks!!!
Luckily when I hit my watch on the door frame today there were no sparks!!!! Meaning that it was all crystal that made full contact - there was no steel bezel, no steel case and no steel bracelet making any contact with the door frame......therefore......no sparks. I guess one couldn't say the same for Newman Oh the humanity

Luckily I got a tube of PolyWatch when I was in Japan a year or so ago. Now is the perfect time to give it a try.

You realize, if you were Chuck Norris, the door frame would have jumped out of the way for you!

Oh no, sorry to hear about what happened. On the bright side it could have been worst I guess. Let us know how Polywatch ends up working for you

Well I used the Polywatch and it worked like a charm.
One thing to note is that the Polywatch needs to be shaken properly before use. I polished the GMT crystal a couple of times using a tissue with Polywatch working with mild pressure in a circular motion gradually easing up on the pressure to give it as light a buff as possible, and it works perfectly. The crystal now looks as good as new. Amazing result.

I had no doubt on the results....A year back my wife swiped her watch crystal on the face of a rough brick!! Needless to say the watch came off second best.! After about 10 mins with Polywatch, all traces of the scratches were gone.
