For those who don't know, a Dremel (collective noun for really useful hand tools
) is a must for all do-it-yourselfers.
I didn't have one, until today, prefering to make use of a small stable of man size power tools, not ideally suitable for fine work - hence the purchase.
A short while ago I asked Admin if he knew how to get scratches from plastic watch 'glasses' such as I have on my Submariner. I'd managed to graze the lens above the date window, and while his advice was very useful, I decided to try using a Dremel, a buffing disk and a very mild abrasive liquid used to clean plastics - fantastic! I can now read the date on the Submariner - what's more, I tried the combination on a series of small scatches on the body of the Chronomat - result - no more scratches.
Obviously to be used with caution, but impressed by the results all the same.
