I was reading on the forums how a lot of people use scrubbing bubbles on their Rolexes.

Would it be safe for WG? The reason why I'm asking is that I'm assuming that they use Scrubbing Bubbles on their SS Rolexes, and that SS is tougher than gold.

I'm worried it may be too "strong" for gold.

Comments? THanks!

What's wrong with water and a mild soap? I'd go with what Rolex recommends and common sense.

arthertbc0702 · 18 February 2013, 09:43 PM

Maybe it's not as shiny? Haha

Seems to be a fairly strong solution...

Just use hand soap and lukewarm water.

WG will be fine, but what about the rubber seals...? Why risk it...

Vereat cleaner is the best for me....Love their blue drying cloths and microfiber cloths as well!

Scrubbing bubbles? The toxic bathroom cleaner? No way would I use that on gold or ss.

Dawn dish soap and water. Removes all the body oil and grime but wont leave water spots or ruin your watch seal.

Ditto!

oh, sorry. i travel between Malaysia and the UK. haha. In the UK, i live in Manchester, hence the location

kingSubTT · 19 February 2013, 01:19 AM

Lysol?

Edit. J/k

kilyung · 19 February 2013, 01:35 AM

Just use soap and water

mikkibarry · 19 February 2013, 01:37 AM

I would think Lysol is pretty toxic in its on right. I wouldn't use that on my jewelry (and I try to treat my watches like jewelry)

sheldonsmith · 19 February 2013, 06:40 AM

Veraet for me. Review at http://www.minus4plus6.com/cool.htm#veraet

watches are jewelry.... with a function.

crowncollection · 19 February 2013, 07:18 AM

soapy water is enough

Rich2putt · 19 February 2013, 07:54 AM

Just ordered. Thanks for the link & info.

Absolutely agreed. The outside part is jewelry and I wouldn't want to mix the jewelry cleaner part with the function part inside :-).

Me too. They should give a kickback to TRF for that.

oneillba · 19 February 2013, 08:26 AM

Vaeret for me, but I'd use Dawn dish soap if needed. If Dawn is good for all those oil-slick-covered birds and otters, then it's safe enough for my Rolex!

nauticajoe · 19 February 2013, 08:34 AM

No way! Soap (I prefer using baby's liquid bath soap) & warm water will suffice.

arthertbc0702 · 19 February 2013, 08:57 AM

Dawn soap.. hm. i think i would need to check if they have them here
