I am probably the minority but I’d like to preserve the colors on the bezel and not have them fade. Does soapy water and a very soft toothbrush work as I do with other Rolex’s? I don’t want paint to come off over time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The aluminum bezels are anodized not painted.

Why use a toothbrush on a smooth surface?

What do you recommend?

If you want to preserve it from fading, then you’ll have to keep it out of the sun.

My watches get dawn and a soft bristle tooth brush … so far so good

When I shower I clean my watch with the soaped up buff I scrub myself with. Working well since 1997.

thanks, everyone. I guess I am a stickler for when it comes to preserving the bezel on my gmt.
