Royal Oak - Regular Cleaning Regiment?

[Speed]

Sorry - Regimen.

OK. Dumb question. Not as dumb as "What is the average discount I should received on a stainless steel Rolex" or "Is it safe to wear my expensive watch in _____ City, Country etc...

Now we know (after numerous comments from Padi) that the best way to clean a Rolex SS sports watch is with a soft toothbrush and gentle soap / warm water. No Veraet / fancy watch cleaners required.
Same for a Royal Oaks? 15300 / 15400 / 15202?

Reason I ask is I know the fine brushed surfaces can scratch if you look at them funny. Would a garden-variety toothbrush mar the fine brushed surface of a RO?

What do folks to do in terms of regular cleaning?

Thanks

I use toothbrush and toothpaste ( Colgate ) under tap water. So far no issues of spoiling the brush surfaces. The RO needs regular cleaning to look it's best.

I use soap, water and a face cloth to clean my AP, I wouldn't risk it with a toothbrush

[Speed]

Ah...there's the rub. Pun intended. To toothbrush or not to toothbrush???

[ismelllikepoop]

i wouldn't use colgate just with the abrasives that are in toothpaste. I got a cheap toothbrush from a dentist checkup with super soft bristles that seems to work well in crevices otherwise I just use a soft cloth and soap.

I use a softbrush with warm water and dish soap

Ok...so tooth brushing seems preferred.

Much thanks.

i would not use toothpaste.

like my teeth, i use an extra soft toothbrush, you are not trying to scrub the dirt away, you are just trying get into the places your fingers can't.

i use any hand or body soap, but i apply it to my hands then lather it, then apply it to the watch.

I usually use my hands and dish soap on the RO and soft brush from Veraet for in between links on bracelet.

I use dish soap, boars hair small brush and some love. Once a week I clean it and 2 years after purchase, still looking new.

[Speed]

They make toothbrushes out of Boars hair? Who knew?

Kidding.

Thanks all!

The finish on the RO bracelet looks amazing with Veraet

[Speed]

What is actually in Veraet?
