how'd you clean the gold up without polishing it right off

Looks fantastic

Since basically I disassembled the whole watch (took the movement out and everything), I just took an old toothbrush and some dish wash soap and gave it a hell of a clean with the brush and that's how it got like that! No polishing needed, just some water, soap and a brush.

I dried up the case inside and out and cleaned the crystal on the inside with a microfiber cloth.

Looking good. I just sold the same watch about month back.

All kidding aside, Nice work and sexy machine !
