Wow, that's a science experiment right there. That is scarier than the stuff lurking in the back of my fridge.

This watch needs an ultrasonic bath 🛀

That's your mates fecal matter right there in the palm of your hand!

Pretty grim but nothing some warm soapy water can't sort.

That is really bad!

MTROIS · 10 January 2015, 11:23 PM

I am sure he felt bad and this baby will finally get a decent clean up. :)

I guess none of you have seen Jockes work watch..I'll see if I can find the thread..

swils8610 · 11 January 2015, 09:10 AM

How about some after pics?

Snow-Dweller · 11 January 2015, 09:14 AM

I hope he's not a chef!

JVP · 11 January 2015, 12:08 PM

Suspend the watch with a ruler over a red solo cup filled with water so that the bracelet is fully sumerged. Then throw 5 or 6 Efferdent tables (the kind used to clean dentures) into the water and let it sit over night. Eferdent won't harm false teeth and it won't harm the watch band either. Clean the rest off with a soft tooth bruch in the morning and it will be good as new.

Here's the link to Jockes yearly cleaning of his work watch.

All cleaned up. The watch for being worn every day is in unbelievable condition. My friend told me he wore it tight on his wrist. The band without ever being cleaned had absolutely minimal stretch. Furthermore proves my theory that wearing the watch tight will save your band 100%.

I've yet to see stretch on other than the Presidents or Jubilee bands. Not seen it on an Oyster. I think it is due to the number of links and joints between the links.

Brads1967 · 11 January 2015, 02:51 PM

My daily wearer Sub has been worse than that.

Given it spends its year inside deer and down rabbit holes , and working on bikes then it`s to be expected.

`s only dirt.

That's silly. As long as you dry it off after it's been in the water it will be fine. This occured because it was never dried.

pfg1 · 12 January 2015, 04:33 AM

That is nasty.....

cop414 · 12 January 2015, 04:37 AM

Wow, great before and after pics!

motoikkyu · 12 January 2015, 05:46 AM

I wonder if there isn't an advantage to having a fair amount of your own DNA in your watch. Like, if it is stolen, and recovered, wouldn't DNA be useful if the serial number were altered?

ec51 · 12 January 2015, 05:55 AM

Even after regular washing with a toothbrush, this still comes out of my bracelet after an ultrasonic bath, I presume this crud to be the stretch causer:

Gotta love how a Rolex cleans up so easily and looks like a million bucks! Now tell your buddy to invest some time to clean that baby once in a while.
