What cloth to use to clean watch

Hi guys.

May of us here who have watches with PCL or just shiny bezels like the Daytona always have to be careful not to scratch our watches.

So what kind of cloth are you using? Micro fabric ? And where to buy one? What brand?

Thanks

Have to agree Larry basically any sort of cotton lint free cloth will do, just wash in plain soap and water first.

This is my #1 "go to" buffer.

#2 - microfiber - you can get cheaply at any eye care aisle in any store.

I like to use a fluffy bath towel that is slightly damp from drying off after a shower on my DJII. I work it into the bezel and it looks great, and no scratches.
