Cleaning our watches

[Wunderpus]

All,

What have you found to be the best and safest way to clean our reps? Obviously sweat, dirt and other grime builds up over time, and we'd like to safely remove it... What has worked best for everyone?

Wrist clean and ultrasonic the steel bracelets.

I always thought some soap and water would be just fine. Are there special product that can be used to get a “deeper” clean?

Soap and water is the best way...you can use a soft toothbrush

 

[Rx4Time]

Hand soap and water, toothbrush in the crevasses, bracelet in an ultrasonic cleaner occasionally. Usually hand soap and water is enough.

I use toilet paper and desinfectant spray

Throw mine in the dishwasher!


I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs,
Blown up for Raquel Welch.
But when I wind up in the hay it's only hay, Hey Hey

The whole watch ?

I found the best result is the eco program, 4h at 90°C and 1,200rev spin right after. I then hang it outside to dry a little in the sun, which helps adding that lovely patina on the dial and lume.

+1 on the the tooth brush and warm soapy water

I soak in Palmolive sensitive dish soap and warm water for about 5 min then scrub with soft bristle toothbrush and rinse with cold water. Air dries on paper towel and buff with soft cloth for water spots. Works like a charm. Cape cod for light case polishing when needed. Wrist sweat for lubing bracelet.

If it is one of my Waterproof watches (I waterproof all my divers gen and my 1st rep I just got) and just rinse it in warm water and use a little soap if necessary.

Warm soapy water, soft brush, cotton bud to get into tight spaces. Dry with micro fibre cloth, jewellery cleaning spray which adds a nice shine and another wipe over with the cloth.

Bracelet removed, an ultrasonic run through, replace cleaning solution, quick brush with a tooth brush (with the new solution) and another ultrasonic run. occasionally, a quick polish on the crystal with toothpaste and a microfiber cloth to "clean" up the crystal at the same time.
