My 6 year old Platona still looks pristine bar a few minor marks on the clasp.

If you clean your watch regularly, like once a week, you probably don't even need a brush since it will be cleaned frequently enough to avoid any serious dirt built up requiring a brush.

The Oyster bracelet is pretty easy to clean due to it's large links compared to the Jubilee or the President bracelet on the DD.

My method is pretty simple. Wash your hands first! Set the watch on a soft towel while washing hands, then rinse watch thoroughly. Place watch back on soft towel, lather up your hands again, take watch and squirt a good drop of soap in the area you're about to clean, lather it up gently, then move to the next section, add another drop of soap and on and on until you're all the way around. Rinse watch thoroughly, then use a soft microfiber towel (not the ones they use at the AD to wipe you watch down, but something more substantial that can actually absorb water like maybe a detailing microfiber towel used for a car) and wrap the towel around the watch without having any parts of the bracelet touching other parts of the watch. Don't rub, just let the water get absorbed by the towel. After a few seconds of letting the towel absorb the water and maybe dabbing some exposed areas of the watch, remove the towel and carefully hold the watch in your hand without touching the outside of the links. Use a hair dryer on full blast on the cold setting and go all the way around the watch to get the last remaining water.

That's how I do it, takes maybe 3 minutes!

Oh....and don't forget to tighten your crown before getting the watch wet!!

I rinse a watch under the running water and then use regular towel to dry it up.
