Cleaning A Sub - What I do

[LA_LEC]

I do not baby my sub...I wear it all the time as my daily. I do clean it and some might think that I am quite fanatical about cleaning my sub BUT it works for me, and take a mere 10 minutes a week to do!

I wash it once a week (under normal wear - more if needed because of an activity such as diving). I use mild dish soap. Not directly on the watch but a couple of drops in the hand...then lather up...THEN apply to the watch. I do not use a toothbrush or any brush...just fingers. I turn the bezel while soapy to get anything that might be lodged loose.

Next rinse under the tap with warm water until all soap is gone. Next I do a final rinse with distilled water...yes, distilled water as it has NO minerals so there is no accumulation of any residue (calcium often found in tap water which is what causes the white residue that builds up around your shower or sink). Just a quick rise is all that is needed.

Next, dry with a soft towel. Don't forget to pull out the divers extension to get dry under there. As for the bezel, I use canned air (the stuff you blow dust out of your keyboard) to blow the excess water out from under between the bezel and the actual case so it is not only clean but also dry.

I have done that for weekly for over a decade and my sub is as good as the day I bought it new!
