I found a product this weekend that seemed to work great on that scuffed acrylic crystal.
It is called "PlastX" and is made by Meguiars. It is made to clean up Auto headlight covers, convertible windows, plexiglass, CD's, ect...
I found it to leave a much clearer finish than "Brasso" with a lot less polishing time. I used a "micro-fiber" polishing cloth with a little dab on it, rubbed the crystal in a circular motion for about 2-3 minutes, buffed it with a clean part of the cloth and POOF! no more scuffs and as clear as a new one.
$4.39 for a 10 oz bottle at your local Auto parts store.

Damn !! I meant to post that for every one else lol Its some really good stuff !!! no swirls and I used it on a bad junker with the dremel and it works very good on some deep gouges. Im sure if you are not carefull it would still burn but it is nothing like brasso. Excellent stuff !!!!!!!!!
It also leaves a much finer near swirl free finish on the gold fill as well..
Ima order a rotary from Otto Frei maybe this week, need the multi speed (my dremel is the high speed version, like 30,000rpm...way too fast for gold work) the Otto frei one is foot pedal controll down to I think 5000rpm, flex shaft takes the standard heads all for about $90, not much more than a new vari spd dremel....the right pads and compounds are unknown to me lol so help is apreciated.

Compounds http://www.pjtool.com/jewelersrougepolishingcompound.aspx
Pads link is for style of pads, and purpose, PJ's have the size you need for watches
All you need is the 4oz size on compounds, a little goes a long way, you could buff every watch listed on this site and much more with that amount.
But do be careful with your dremels guys. Only on gold fill and RGP. If you use your dremel on electroplate you will be down to base metal before you know it. The 70's electroplate Accutron's for instance, seem to have some kind of laquer baked on to them, one touch with the dremel and your through it leaving a very brassy and patchy surface.
Good gold filled can be buffed quite hard, but even then it is easily possible to get down to base metal.
