Preventing scratches is a hard thing to do for watches. Somehow, it just happens. All I do and can really do is to prevent impacts and major damage. I've successfully buffed out scratches on some straps before, but I've never tried for the glass.

I have a Presage Cocktail time but I find it's too big at 40mm. I might end up selling it. It's the same problem with my Orient Bambino.
I think the sweet spot is around 36-38mm.
I have used a dremel and diamond polish to buff out scratches in a watch crystal and I've also used it with metal polish to buff out a scratch in a titanium watch. It's not for the faint of heart through! I find Seiko hardlex the worst offender as its easily scratched compared to Sapphire and it's just so that Seiko can save some money. For watches with softer acrylic crystals, some polywatch or even cheaper - brasso from walmart does the trick.
