What is the best?
What is the best way to clean your Rolex. Submerge in water is that a bad way to do it? I was going to run it under hot water any advice thanks

I use Veraet (sp) watch cleaner followed by a quick warm water bath.
If my bracelet is super dirty between the links, I'll take it off the watch head and let it soak in a bowl of warm water and a little bit of palmolive. Assuming it's a brushed SS bracelet, a soft toothbrush to get in between the links works well. All that said, most of the time I'll just give it quick rinse and call it a day |

Mpro-7 gun cleaner. Spray it on and watch all the nasty stuff that you never knew was on there drip right off.

The Rolex Booklet for years said "warm soapy water".

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

In the shower with shampoo.
Shampoo is formulated to remove exactly the kind of gunk that builds up on a watch.

Toothbrush and soap/veraet/shampoo/dish detergent...all work fine. I use a toothbrush and veraet mostly and it works great for me.
Also every few months I'll take the bracelet off and throw it in my ultrasonic
