First AP--How to wash/clean--44mm ROO Titanium
I just purchased my first AP BNIB from an AD. I got the new 44mm ROO with the titanium case on a grey rubber strap. Just wondering what the best way to clean/wash it after going in a pool or the ocean. Thank you.

Soap, soft tooth brush, and warm water for me.

You need a bowl of angel tears, a brush made with unicorn hair and Swiss elf to carry out the procedure
Only messing as above mild soap, soft tooth brush and give it a good clean, make sure crown it tight |

Same way you do your nether regions – a big scrubbing brush and lots of carbolic soap.
The (new-age) alternative is to simply rinse with ordinary water and pat dry, in order to prevent hard water deposits. |

They’re fine for using after having sat down on the loo, but next to useless if you’ve got betty swallocks – that’s where the carbolic soap and brush comes into play! |

This is what I did after a solid week of beach and pool activities. Let the watch sit for a few minutes, then some very light scrubbing with the wristclean brush
