Yeah, that's okay for the crystal, but the bracelet requires a little more . . .

[spellman21]

Soft bristle toothbrush and soap as well. I am a little cautious around the bezel due to the gaskets and the soap.

Whichever way you wash it, just finish it off with a cape cod cloth to remove those hairlines on the polished ss links.
(Don't forget gloves when using the cape cod cloths!)

Kyle..I continued reading and woke my baby up laughing. I still have tears, and my side is hurting from the pics.. Too much.

Simply water with soap and toothbrush. Occassionally with jewelry coth. If still does not work I use front-loaded washing machine

[Dr. Robert]

soap & water....polish SS w/ Brasso

[dalip]

wipe with a good soft cloth....maybe some IKlear...works for me

[crazyfingers]

I just use the soft cloth I got from the RSC

[Alcan]

I use the Larry Tools patented Rolex Wash-a-Matic, also fully winds any Rolex Perpetual in 3 nano-seconds.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

From a long time ago...

I get sixteen vestal virgins to wash mine. Each rubs up a lather on their nubile thigh then allows my watch to brush gently against their delicate skin...only once!!!!!!!

Once that stage is done, I get an old crone to beat it with a salt encrusted Codfish forty times, no more, no less. It has to be forty. Any number other than forty and the moon will fall into the sun and we will all be destroyed from the resulting supernova.

Stage three is to rinse the watch thoroughly in the clear crystal glacial streams of the Antarctic ice flows. The watch is designed to take the extreme cold and if you add a stick of gum it leaves it feeling minty fresh.

Stage four...the watch is then place onto the supple forlock of an Alpaca. The exercise not only winds the watch but the soft fur gently dries the steel case.

Stage five. One hundred kittens are fed yellow skittles candy and they use their sweet baby kitten breath to air dry my beloved watch. This allows all droplets of moisture to leave the bracelet. You have not experienced dry until you feel 'kitten-dry'!

Finally the crystal is inspected for damage and gently given a buff by seven diamond mining dwarves. Diamond mining Dwarves are the best at knowing their quality crystal and minerals although they are desperate to leave at five pm as they need to get home to their lady friend "who was as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony wood"!!!!!!

These yahoos posting here with their soap and water have no idea about cleaning these fantastic, extremely valuable and much better than all other brands timepieces.

Good luck with the cleaning!

This is my technique as well. I use my fingers and not a brush. But I only dab the paper towell to absorb the moisture - then I rub the watch with a soft silky cloth of the type used for cleaning spectacles.

You have to get it dirty first.

No, you don't. You just have to THINK it's dirty...

[snow_rocks]

Damn thing gets clean when I take a bath.
Once or twice a month, I make it down to the river!

[RJC]

Toothbrush and a gentle liquid soap for me.

I also try and avoid using a cotton cloth when drying or giving a quick polish, as cotton can leave swirls.

Try a good microfibre cloth. IWC watches come with a real good one and they sometimes come up on ebay.
