Using the 7825 to clean the 116619

Decided to finally get spring bar tweezers and followed the advice of forum members and ordered the Bergeon 7825 from Ofrei. So much easier to use than the single spring bar tool.

Placed the bracelet into an ultrasonic cleaner and decided to take a few quick pictures.

Jason, was there a noticeable difference in shine and luster once you were done? I typically just spray it with the vareat and rinse.

X2. I’m also curious to know your results.

Spray and rinse doesn't clean in between the links and pins, ultrasonic cleaning is the best way to thoroughly clean the bracelet.

To me yes there was a nice luster and shine afterwards. You don’t see like chunks floating in the water but you do see evidence of “debris” on the water surface.

For example where the end links are there was dirt from wear that I could not easily reach with quick cleaning, afterwards the end links were clean without my having to wipe it down first.

I bought the cleaner off amazon and some jewelry cleaner for my wife’s jewelry awhile ago. Never cleaned my bands before because of how hard it was to remove the spring bars.
