Anyway, I started wearing my watch again for the first time in 15 years. This is the opposite of chunky. Unfortunately the sapphire crystal on the stem is broken and needs to be replaced.

Neat watch. It does remind me a bit of the one I got from my grandfather.
I noticed some scratches and scuffs on the bracelet from being a loyal daily driver. Assuming there's no matte polish sections on the metal, I found out that a nail buffer does a damn good job erasing those scuffs. It's surprisingly easy and it takes like a quick 2-3 minutes or like 5 if you want to go nice and slow.

I think it was this one that I got from my wife and replaced. It's a tear drop shaped one and I found it worked better than other style nail buffers out there. It's basically this video below, but cheaper and easier to hold than other finishing pads. You want to use the abrasion side that isn't purely foam.
Not sure how to approach the watch stem, but I think Hack & Lube does enough of this type of thing that he might be able to give you a few pointers.
