Questions about Speedy crystal

I have two:

1) on the acrylic crystal, is there a cloth or solution that will "shine" it to like new if there are light swirls etc. ? if any, what is best and where do I get it?

2) does the crystal have a small Omega symbol etched into it just over the spot where the hands rotate from? is it on every model? if not, which ones have it/which ones do not?

Thanks Goals: Often the search proves more profitable than the goal.
Answer:
And yes, the plastic crystals from Omega are signed.

Answer:
I recently read on "the other Omega forum" that not all Omega hesalite crystals have the Omega symbols molded into them. One gentleman bought a crystal that didn't have the logo and thought it was a fake. He bought another genuine Omega factory replacement crystal and it also lacked the logo.

I also learned that the logos aren't laser etched, but are actually molded into the hesalite.
Answer:
In general, Omega's plastic crytals (includes Hesalite) have Ω in the center and sapphire crystals don't. A. Charles Beddoe Harvard, MA

Yup, I received a genuine replacement crystal for my '72 176.007 and it doesn't have the Omega symbol. I'd thought that all new hesalite crystals had it, but I guess not.
