Do you regularly clean your watch?

[ninjin]

I've seen many pics in the threads of people with their Rolex.

What gets me is how dirty some of them are. I don't mean like covered in flour after baking, I mean build up of grime over weeks and weeks of wear.

Am I the odd one out who wipes down my watch everynight (doesn't matter if its a G-shock or something premium) its a force of habit for me. If say I'm in somewhere hot like HK/BKK then I'll actually shower with it on and soap it up just like I would my body.

Here is a pic from a SkyD from a private seller on Chrono 24. Look at the grime around the crystal. You would think if you're selling your watch you would at least clean it properly before the pics!

Another pic of a SkyD, but a different one and from a Dealer!!!

I clean my bracelets/cases once a month. My rotation allows me to keep them relatively spotless through the year.

Generally wear my watches once a week. They are on rotation, so they don’t get dirty.

I rinse my watch usually once a day or so when I shower.

[csaltphoto]

Once a week or so. They get pretty grimy.

[Explorer2polar]

I have invested in a small ultrasonic cleaning bath, just to clean the bracelets.

[Finslayer83]

Shower a few days a week with a rinse in the sink after.

[HogwldFLTR]

I clean them whenever I post a photo and notice they're dirty. Generally swimming with mine keep them relatively clean.



There is another approach however...

I also take the pool approach to keeping my watches clean and the correct fit for my wrist.

Not so often, once in a while with normal soap. I did giver mine a wash in the dishwasher yesterday, to celebrate that I have had it for a year and the markings on the bezel look cleaner/sharper afterwards.

[Loevhagen]

Yes.

Arm cheese watches and wearers make me vomit.

I also exercise regularly and shower thereafter.

Some things goes without saying.

^^^ In with the dishes?! I've never seen that I use warm water, some blue Dawn (the one with the cute yellow duckie on the bottle), and rub it with my fingers. I do this probably 2x a month. I often do a quick wipe with my sleeve if I notice something on it during the day.

[Heff]

Use wrist clean about every other day.

Sponge and theatre soap daily or liquid diswashing soap at home

[tudorbaja27]

About once a week. I like the shine and feeling of "clean"

[dm05.fsu]

Dish washing soap, distilled water, and kids tooth brush(Softer) once or twice a month :)

[Nishanmath]

I just kind of wipe it down with my shirt �� whenever I am finished wearing it. Actual, I never wear my good watches if I think there is a chance they will get dirty. Dirt has never really been a problem for me since I baby my favorite vintage watches and Rolex.

I was it w soap when I wash my hands.

Same for Me.

[Jim Smyth]

Gets wiped down with a soapy microfiber rag about once a week in the shower. Then about once a month gets the toothbrush treatment also in the shower and once a year a ultrasonic.

[Sublovin]

I have started to clean more often to keep bracelet from stretching. Just warm water, soft brush and some ivory dish soap.

[liuk3]

I barely ever clean my watches.

[JayHantz]

I do, usually with some mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush. I also clean it after I wear it for the day and put it back in the box.

I purchased a product called Wristclean, I figure for what I paid for these watches I could use a ph balanced cleaner and it’s not that expensive and I clean once a week after wearing

[Chadridv]

I enjoy cleaning my watches. But for the most part I clean them as needed. If I'm swimming in the ocean or pool, or doing yard work, etc. the watch will be cleaned immediately after. If I'm using it at the computer for a couple weeks straight, it might not see a deep clean for a while.

Once a week with a toothbrush and dawn soap.

Not often unless I've got particularly dirty, greasy or sweaty. I will loosen off the clasp and take it in the shower. Rinse it off with clean water, dab off the excess, and let it air dry.
