Hi guys, I don't know why I waited so long but, I just bought an ultrasonic cleaner and one of those springbar removal/install double prong pliers (eBay for about $30 for the pliers).

Excellent investment - unbelievable how much manufacturing crud comes out of the bracelet, and the pliers make it much, much easier to remove and install the watch head from the bracelet.

Now I know for sure there isn't any manufacturing gunk slowly grinding away at bracelet links, and my wrist won't get blackened any more, yuck.

what ultrasonic cleaner did you buy and how much did it cost you if you dont mind me asking? purchased a vintage seiko bracelet recently and it needs a cleaning so i was looking at picking one up myself.

The affordable ones for jewelry are fine for watch bands.
