Hi, I scratched the face on my Datejust, as its a vintage it has acrylic rather than sapphire crystal. Any tips on how to get the scratch out or should i have it replaced? And if so to replacing it should i get the sapphire fitted? I would have done this already but was told it effects the watch from being waterproof but i wouldnt dream of getting it wet either way.
