Ultrasound cleaner?

[deansot53]

Please can I have some advice if a domestic ultrasound cleaner is satisfactory to use for my Rolex?
I know when you get your watch serviced it is cleaned by a similar method.

you do need special fluid for cleaning, not just "add water and go" :)

I use one with a mixture of diluted dish soap and water. That gives me great results.

I've been using this ultrasonic cleaner also and works well enough for my rolex bracelets as well as my vape gear. Though I usually have to put the bracelet and clasp through multiple times on the longest cycle to get all the gunk out.

I also put a drop or two of dr bonners pure castile soap into the water, as it is more gentle than dishwashing soap

That is just fine

I heard not to use one for cleaning (I have one that I use for engagement ring and earrings), but I'd double check before cleaning a watch

It is not recommended for the encased movement. It's the best method to clean the bracelet as it will get to the grit that really counts - inside the link holes/pins where dirt causes bracelet stretch.

I mix a bit of soap with boiling water in mine. That really helps to loosen up the dirt from the bracelet.
