I use my coffee espresso milk steamer to clean my watch bracelet and my wife’s rings… really gets in the nooks and crannies… jewellers use higher pressure steam cleaners so I figure this would do the same.

anyone else do this?

I've thought about it. I checked stream pressure, and I didn't have the guts to do it. Maybe on low pressure??

Works great for me with no issues… I’m pretty sure the industrial jewellery steam pressure is much higher than a coffee machine.

Would you mind letting me know how long you waited?

And was this with AP House on Bond Street?

Had to wait a bit over a year... Around 14 months all. No connection / warm into just walked into the boutique and introduced myself.

Well worth the wait

I waited 1.5 years for the Royal Oak, definitely don't have any connections but wish I did! Would love a perpetual calendar/open work but have no chance with only one AP in my spend history.

No trick or anything, just waited and got lucky I guess :)

Woah, 14 months is actually not long though, I am so surprising , congratulation to you! AP boutique in my country doesn't even allow walk-in, need appointment...By the way when did you get the watch is it recent year 202X something (during PEAK market price)?
