Cleaning AP ROO
I usually clean my watches in a very diluted soapy mixture and then blow the water off.
Concerned with the exposed rubber parts and the soap. What is considered to be the best way to clean off dust, smudges, water spots from these APs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

mild soap and water + a soft toothbrush works for me. Others swear by wrist clean products but I haven't tried them yet.
For a quick touch up I just use a mild jewellery cleaner & micro fibre cloth. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=615576

A few squirts Wrist clean, a quick rinse, a dab with the micro tooth and then finish it with a hairdrier set to cold. Takes 30 seconds, fully cleans it and no watermarks.

Saphir Reptan cream - just use a clean cloth to wipe a tiny amount on. Let it sit then clean off with clean part of cloth. This will lift a lot of gunk of it and condition / treat the strap too. I use it for all my items with reptile leather. You can also buff to a shine if desired. https://www.hangerproject.com/saphir...auty-milk.html There are other products out there which will also work, but for leather care I have always used Saphir. Don’t use it too often though, once every few months depending on wear should be fine.
