Question on cleaning an AP ROC

Hello all!

I just have a quick question, and apologies if this matter has been adressed before, tried doing a google search but still nothing! My question is, what do you guys recommend for weekly cleaning of my AP, i wash my rolexes in the shower haha but was told keep the ap away from showers, as its only rated to 50m?

Look forward to all your replies!

Regards F

You'll be fine showering if you have a rubber diver strap.... But it's not recommended if your AP has a leather HB strap... As Croc straps don't take we'll to being soaked!
But I find an old soft toothbrush with a little soapy water will keep the case reasonably clean!

Is your shower 50m deep???

You're perfectly fine showering or swimming with your AP. I shower with all of mine with the exception of the 5402 as it is vintage and no longer waterproof.
