Cleaning up a Jubilee Bracelet?

Does the standard masking tape and Cape Cod/Scotch Bright work on Jubilees? I've only been able to find the approach used on Oysters with PCLs.

I used Cape Cods once on the center links of my TT Super Jubilee, with the outer links masked off. They looked a little better but quite honestly, IMO, the beauty of the Jubilee is that it really doesn't show scratches easily. Therefore, doubt I will ever do it again, simply letting RSC do its magic when the time comes.

An ultrasonic cleaner will do wonders for a jubilee bracelet. There is all kinds of gunk in the nooks and crannies.

That's why I wash mine daily with soap and warm water. Greatly helps to avoid stretch too.

I agree. The surfaces too being curved does not make it as easy as it would be on an oyster. Leave it and enjoy it.

OK, ultrasonic first. Need to find one. OK, done. Thanks for the recommendation!

Leave in warm water with soap.
Then use a soft brush with soap.
To finish, use Veraet. It'll take years off your watch
