so wanted to find out how many other people out here have become obsessed with the cleanliness of their watch. i find myself buffing it out every night and scraping any dirt or grime with a tooth pick, and then prob once a week touching them up with a buffing wheel .

spuds · 12 May 2010, 02:42 AM

I lick mine & wipe it with my t-shirt maybe once a week or so.

Lion · 12 May 2010, 02:46 AM

Geof, I do not follow your cleaning regime but about every two weeks I have my jeweler steam clean my bracelet!!!

Dr. Robert · 12 May 2010, 03:05 AM

liquid hand soap & water & Brasso for polishing

gjz · 12 May 2010, 03:09 AM

i never thought of steam cleaning, with everything else i own i am kinda lax but for some reason these watches have me hypnotized. shoot i haven't washed my truck in 2 years

gmaines · 12 May 2010, 03:27 AM

Just wipe it down with my bath towel after my shower...

2th Dr · 12 May 2010, 04:36 AM

Mine never get dirty so I don't have to worry about cleaning them....

Numismatist · 12 May 2010, 05:00 AM

How are they getting dirty inside a safe?

Christiaan · 12 May 2010, 05:03 AM

So, i guess its time to increase the dosage of your OCD meds

pz93c · 12 May 2010, 05:10 AM

Umm, no.

gjz · 12 May 2010, 05:15 AM

no i am maxed out on the ocd meds, not nice to joke about those things

Christiaan · 12 May 2010, 05:16 AM

im not joking, im crazy OCD about organization around my house...just not cleaning of my watches.

Mystro · 12 May 2010, 05:26 AM

Too funny!

WatchnRoll · 12 May 2010, 06:41 AM

I certainly get the OCD thing for cleaning my watches.

Everyday I use a little soap and warm water and I rinse down my watch.

I wouldn't recommend using a toothpick to remove grime....that's just not a good idea.

Enjoy!

Never thought of this but it sounds like it could be a good way to go. I guess I better get a few more t-shirts.

level · 12 May 2010, 07:37 AM

I've turned into a bezel nut. I like the look of a shiny bezel against the brushed finish of an oyster bracelet so much that I find myself polishing the bezel at least once a week.

matt.wu · 12 May 2010, 07:48 AM

I wear mine everyday and, other than wiping the crystal smudges off with whatever the nearest cloth/tissue is, I don't clean it very often at all. Thinking about a sonic cleaner for the bracelet though.

JPersat · 12 May 2010, 07:58 AM

I wear mine in the shower, and when I am working, I do lick mine and wipe them with my shirt, jeans, or my Oakley pouch....haha.
