Soap, warm water with a soft toothbrush, is all you'll ever need!!

KMdad44 · 26 November 2011, 01:34 PM

I use a jewellery cleaner and the brush that comes with it..... The name is "Connoisseurs Jewellery Cleaner for Gold, diamonds and Precious stones." Been doing it with my DJ that I had for 7 year and now my GMT IIc that I had for 3 years. Nothing bring out the shine like the cleaner. Brush on lightly, rinse with warm water and let sit for a couple of minutes. Than shine with the "Rolex Rage." Awesome!

Currently use warm soapy water, soft toothbrush and microfibre cloth.

Incoming, Veraet watch cleaning kit.

blackmsport · 26 November 2011, 02:31 PM

warm water and toothpaste + soft toothbrush

sea-dweller · 26 November 2011, 02:46 PM

Dishwashing soap and a toothbrush!

AJMarcus · 26 November 2011, 09:22 PM

Soap and water. Take a shower with It and your good to go. And then a nice soft cloth. Just don't polish it.

+1. I use dishwashing soap and a soft toothbrush as well. It's designed to remove grease/ oils with ease and yet wash off VERY clean.

I'm not sure about toothpaste as mentioned above....it is an abrasive albeit a very mild one.

Your kidding with the toothpaste right. As I understand it's very abrasive on the SS or TT watch. Over time it'll remove metal. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

I just cleaned mine with alittle soap, warm water & a tooth brush. That's all you need.

I've used soft toothbrush and toothpaste - not the gel, the paste.

Here's what Rolex advises:

lavaman · 28 November 2011, 02:15 AM

Cape Cod cloth. Will blow you out of the water. Amazing stuff (and a recommend from fellow TRF's to me...)

Thats what I use.

ayres · 28 November 2011, 05:03 AM

i agree with most everyone above... a light detergent, diluted with warm water. and i use an old, retired soft-bristled toothbrush. once every week or two. the toothbrush is excellent for getting in those crevices. quick rub with a towel, and back on the wrist!

You better check your teeth and gums if you believe this.

Johny · 28 November 2011, 05:23 AM

Cape cod is only for polishing out scratches.. I wouldn't advise always cleaning your Rolex with one! Everytime you use one, your effectively removing a thin layer of metal..

thewatchguy93 · 28 November 2011, 08:33 AM

Shower gel... or Washing up liquid!

Toothpaste contains quartz and can and will slowly refinish or polish your watch. It probably works similar to this cape cod stuff..

Veraet is the best, easiest way in my opinion. I also use it on other jewelry and it does a great job. You can buy it online.
