I have still to see someone open the case and zap the insides with a garden hose, for that ultra deep clean! haha ha ....

A quick lick of the crystal, wipe watch w/ t-shirt, good to go.

And I thought I was the only crazy person doing this.

I have a a particular firearm that NEVER needs to be cleaned, but will always shoot. It's a "tool" weapon, but that doesn't mean I don't keep it clean. Same could be said about a "tough as nails" vehicle. No matter the material item, there's nothing wrong with taking pride with keeping it clean and looking good. Maybe it's the Marine in me. Who knows.

I understand I can take my Rolex Ito battle and it'll work the entire time, but this doesn't mean I don't like to keep it clean with special cleaners meanwhile.

I don't think Padi has a problem with the concept of cleaning it...he even recommends a method in his post. I think he's referring to the constant, detailed discussions about types of soap, hardness of bristles, types of water, types of towels, etc., etc.

Just clean it. Don't over think it!

Final Step: I am a HUGE Veraet Watch Spray supporter. A lot of TRF'ers are too. Other say it is waste of time and money. My impression is if you want an extra 'pop' or 'sparkle' then invest the whole 10 bucks in a bottle and see for yourself.

Did he tell you think, or are you assuming? We need to get the the bottom of this.

Ahhhhh. Gotcha. In that case, I agree. We are all freaks about pampering our wacthes(or at least most of us).

You've gotta keep your "babies" clean!

We actually share a brain (but don't tell Padi). So...I guess you could say, "He told me think."

An old fingernail brush is actually what I use if needed... I find the tiny toothbrush a bit inadequate for the job..

Well, I got the Vereat spray - IT WORKS!. Washed the watch in dish soap and toothbrush per usual; dried it off and then tried the spray. I don't think it cleans better necessarily, but it leaves absolutely no residue - the links on the bracelet show no trace of anything but shiny stainless, the bezel is blinding, and the crystal just shines.

I smell a trace of citrus in the spray, like those degreasing spot cleaners you see advertised from time to time. That's probably why there is no residue.

Definitely worth the ten dollars or so.
