There is nothing more frustrating than getting your brand new beautiful Rolex home for the first time,
and finding that first set of fresh fingerprints.

What do you do?

I already know the best answer..

Drinking solves all my other problems so it should fix this one too.

Well I find the tin foil & sander both very effective on the PCL's.....

Not to jack the thread, but I discovered Veraet cleaner.

After a round of weed whacking.

After Veraet...

It great stuff and the sample bottles are cheap. I did a write up on the stuff at http://www.minus4plus6.com/cool.htm#veraet

This stuff wont save the watch after being dragged from the back of a car (my answer in the poll), but it is better that some of the other cleaning methods I have heard others share..

Veraet does ship to Australia (I just checked). Contact Don directly at [email protected] or go to their website... www.veraet.com

Great stuff. I use it on my watches as well as on my laptop aluminum/stainless case..

I would suggest sending it to JJ, but the hoof scufs would be another issue all together.

I think the belt sander would remove any surface defects, and those pesky fingerprints!
