If it is mineral it CAN be buffed out. Most jewelers can do it. I actually had my jeweler buff out scratches on the exact same type of rep from TS. It looked as good as new when he was finished. The AR is almost positively on the inside, and shouldn't be effected by the scratches, or polishing.
It can be buffed out regardless of mineral or sapphire.
Watchbitz have the polishing kit you need to do it yourself for a few dollars.
Look on the website: www.watchbitz.com.au under consumables - polishing

It's not worth trying to remove the scratches, a mineral crystal usually costs less than 5 euros. 10 at most.
Your best bet is the dealer you've got the watch from.
Getting an aftermarket will me a bit more complicated since you need to find a crystal of the right size, with the right curve, ...
Ich bin gerne bereit zu helfen

Thx, then it´s off to the jeweler (price/time-relation)
Thank you everybody. This is one of the many things what´s so good about this place. Got a prob--get a solutuion within 10 minutes :thumbsup:
If you know what "model" it is (UPO for example) I can try finding you a crystal. Including shipping it shouldn't be more than 15 euros.
Even if you're a very fast gun and have the proper equipment, getting the scratches off is at least a 30 minutes job. You need to get the crystal out, sand the scratches down, and polish using diamond paste. I doubt anyone will do it for less than 15 euros.
