Are you placing the watch case in the Ultrasonic bath...?



Only the bracelet goes in the US bath.

-- To the OP, think about how peeling stickers look on that beautiful watch...no like, really think about.

Time to let that watch shine. It reminds me of my mother-in-law's TV remote, stuck in a ziploc bag. (no offense).

Sorry, but I just don't understand why you would leave the stickers on for two years??

Do you also have those plastic covers on your sofas?

I wonder if anyone has thought about marketing watch protectors similar to the wet application screen/body protectors for mobile phones...

Try wearing the watch on occasion then. Six times in two years? Why own the watch. Reminds me of Joe Walsh, "I only got drunk once; it lasted for 20 years."

Working in construction I only get chance to wear my watches weekends of which I rotate from my collection. (Why own the watch) because I can.
Why own more than one piece
Again because I can and love and appreciate each one

Posted the thread as a bit of lighthearted humour some got it
Think some need a chill pill
