My first post gentleman be gentle on me now !, What would you consider is the best way to clean your timepiece when used on daily basis, any info would be greatly appreciated, Thank You

cdbeaver66 · 21 August 2016, 04:49 PM

Nothing special. When in the shower, i give whatever watch I am wearing a scrub with a soft toothbrush, just make sure the crown is screwed down properly.

Rocket_Man · 21 August 2016, 04:54 PM

Warm water, dish soap that has been lathered up in my hands, wash with my hands, rinse, dry. I don't use a brush but I understand that some use a baby tooth brush.

William.L. · 21 August 2016, 04:55 PM

I use a fingernail scrub brush and dial soap when in the shower. Pretty basic process, just clean it

Use what Rolex themselves recommend just plain soap and water rinse well and dry in any clean lint free cotton type cloth.

Sportwatchmania · 21 August 2016, 06:38 PM

Under the shower with some shampoo. Washing you hands with the watch between the hand. A good rinse and back on the wrist again. Done.

Runnin' Rebel · 21 August 2016, 06:44 PM

Your in California ? There's a water shortage. No long showers qcleaning your watches. Amazon.Com

Get a ultra Sonic cleaner a pint of water and some dish soap. Clean bracelet after taking watch head off. Scub with baby tooth brush prior perhaps

Rocket_Man · 21 August 2016, 06:51 PM

Anyone tried to use one of those fizzy denture cleaners? Like Polident or Efferdent?

Big Bill · 21 August 2016, 07:08 PM

I've tried this method one time after wearing my watch for six weeks it did a great job.

Water and soap will do fine, but i use products from this site:

http://www.wristclean.com

Could be in my head, but feels like it comes out with even more shine and there microfibre cloth are imho the best.

For my Omega and my Rolex, I wash with hand soap and water, rinse, then WristClean, and final rinse and dry with microfiber. I don't use a brush, just my fingers. I wash my hands first.

Once every week or two is fine, depending on use.

For my weekend pool watch, a Citizen diver, I just use soap and water, but I do wash it after every trip to the pool to get the chlorine off.

As far as WristClean goes, I agree that it's not necessary. But it gives your watch a slick feeling as you clean it, and then leaves it feeling really smooth and clean after rinse and dry, and I enjoy the extra attention given to my nice watches, so it's an indulgence of mine.

I do use their Microfibers, too. Honestly, they are fine, but there are other sources like the Rag Factory that sell quality microfibers for all kinds of uses for great prices.

Wrist clean by veraet. Got an email yesterday with a 30% off code: SUMMERSALE30
Not sure if it's worth the price vs a baby toothbrush, but they do have their own soft brushes.

fskywalker · 21 August 2016, 11:10 PM

Hand soap with a soft tootbrush all you need!

watchwatcher · 21 August 2016, 11:32 PM

Like others have said, soap and water. Also, the wrist clean stuff is good, but a little pricey.

Dish soap and a tooth brush every week or so

nachopc · 22 August 2016, 02:48 AM

Just order it this wristclean, I'm curious about it.

Annan · 22 August 2016, 03:59 AM

Despite Rolex's advice to use soapy water I am a real believer in using Veraet (wristclean) and a soft brush. I also recommend an ultrasonic bath for the bracelet 1-2 times a year.

T. Ferguson · 22 August 2016, 04:53 AM

Dish soap and warm water, rub over the watch with my fingers. Once or twice a year the bracelet goes into the ultrasonic bath to get the gunk out of the pins and link holes.

Actually, meant to say The Rag Company. The Korean microfibers are awesome.

I agree, shampoo usually produces the best results for. me

CAL3135 · 22 August 2016, 04:31 PM

I thought it wasn't safe to get our Rolex watches wet.

masyv6 · 23 August 2016, 12:15 PM

Water works well.

RJRJRJ · 23 August 2016, 12:27 PM

Dish soap + toothbrush + whatever towel I have near by to dry it.
