I've used Beefeater gin when I have nothing to do at work, kinda swirl it around, use my fingers to get into all the little crevices and then use soda water to let it soak in for a while. Then clean it with a soft cloth, looks sparkly clean after that

Dr. Robert · 1 June 2011, 11:52 AM

A quick lick of the crystal, wipe with t-shirt.......good to go.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 1 June 2011, 11:53 AM

Do not waste your hard earned cash on any specialty products. Warm water and a soft, unused toothbrush - toothpaste is extremely abrasive, every week and windex once a month, again with the toothbrush.

Nothing works better.

Ricco · 1 June 2011, 11:53 AM

Is it good to use non-soap, acid balance 'soap' like SebaMed?

X2 and thats what Rolex themselves recommend they don't need any other sort of pampering like special cloths liquids etc.

NEVER USE ALCOHOL ON A WATCH...once you do it never tells time right again..

Gotta say...I was impressed with this stuff. I hardly ever clean mine...quick wipe with a cloth maybe...but when I do use the spray it really does make the watch shine. I can't be bothered doing any more...quick spray...leave...rinse...outstanding

rmfnla · 2 June 2011, 02:00 AM

I take mine into the shower and use some clarifying shampoo on it.

No residue and stays nice and managable all day!

macscot · 2 June 2011, 02:32 AM

Love it, lick it, leave it. Job done.

petesjag · 2 June 2011, 02:35 AM

Veraet is definitly the best...they have a great selection of super microfibre cloths for polishing and leaning..You can find them easily on the net and their service is great!

Toothpaste is great for polishing acrylic.
I understand shaving foam is pretty good for cleaning.

Mine goes under the shower everyday and gets a soap treatment.

watchskis · 2 June 2011, 08:34 AM

Veraet is good stuff. Works and shines and smells good. Read where soap leaves a residue. Thought I would try it..
