This is the dust blower I use, and I can't tell you why I prefer it. Perhaps it seems to give a bit more control over the strength of the puff. It will roll on the bench, so keep it in a dish when you're not using it.

These high-quality, Swiss-made cleaning baskets are the standard for holding parts in mechanical or ultrasonic cleaners. The finest parts will not fall out of the basket. Depending on the watch, two to four are needed for a complete watch. This small size is particularly useful for escape and balance parts, small screws, etc. I use several of these in my ultrasonic cleaner. Don't be fooled by cheap Indian-made imitations, as they are not as functional or nicely made.

This is what the pros use and scratches on plastic crystals are removed in seconds, when it is applied to a buffing wheel and lightly buff. Extreme care must be used and if you have an emotional attachment to the watch, then this is not a product for you. Only use on a bench top buffing wheel and with the crystal still in the case using two hands gently place in front on the outer hairs of the fast spinning buffing wheel for just a few seconds. Too much pressure and you will burn a hole in the crystal this also only takes a second to happen. If is not advised to use a Dremel type hand tool, since all it takes is one slip and the crystal is destroyed.
