I'm kind of surprised that you can't get a scratch out by lapping the face on some sort of grit coated surface. But only since the deep sea has no cyclops lens.
Is the crystal just too hard to make any sort of progress? Last edited by MikeyV; 23 October 2018 at 11:11 AM.. Reason: 2nd grade spelling |

It's a domed crystal and can't be lapped by standard methods. You'd need an orbital lens lapping setup meant for optical lenses.

Caveat! Owners of most sapphire crystal Rolex watches need-to-know.
One of the worst unintentional scratch sources is your wife or girl friend's diamond engagement rings or OTHER DIAMOND JEWELRY. Think about it. So...sure enough. The prettier she is ...and the larger the diamond.............. just sayin...LOL |

I had no idea that the Deep Sea had a domed crystal. Far out.

Most lapiderists can get it done who are willing to take on the job. I use one in NY who does it in about a week, though he only works on domed crystals and the crystal has to be taken out. Also, it's not cheap ($150-200 + disassembly fee)
