GMTIIC Owners - How do you keep the bezel & crystal clean?

This question mainly goes out to the GMTIIC owners, but anyone else who has suggestions are more than welcome to reply.

I have had my GMT IIC for about 3.5 weeks now and I absolutely LOVE it. I was wondering whether other GMT IIC owners noticed little "smudges" on the black ceramic bezels? I wipe it off with the cloth that came with the watch (as well as the crystal) and sometimes even use my t-shirt too.

Does anyone use any sort of special cloth or solution (such as sunglass cleaner etc?) to just give it a quick wipe? (WINDEX is not an option guys...)

All suggestions welcome! Thanks!

Just a good polishing cloth, not the ones included with the watch... Maybe a horosafe, those tend to last.

I use a micro cloth, like the one you use to clean your glasses with.

I agree! I personally, LITERALLY do not know anyone else who owns a GMT IIC, so TRF is a great place to get advice, post advice etc.

Thanks again for your feedback guys & gals!!!

I use my t shirt and spit Sun-Fri. Every Saturday morning I break out some super concentrated cleaner I bought and dilute the heck out of it and use that with a soft bristled tooth brush she looks good as new minus the hundreds of scratches of course. That is the only thing I do not like about Crystal the Acrylic never would show smudges or finger prints.

I use a little soft bristle toothbrush for babies. What kind of soap should I be using? Dishsoap ok?
