I use a microfiber rag with dish detergent. I think that a brush is over kill unless there is an accumulation of soapscum in which case I would use a brush.
I treat mine like a wineglass. I have also been known to use windex. |

Agreed. I think an ultrasonic cleaner is the way to go. There are some very inexpensive ones on amazon (less than $25) with tons of great reviews. I am going to buy one.

Still not cleaning out the gunk that ultimately leads to bracelet stretch. Only an ultrasonic will do that.

I use a face brush that I picked up while my wife was at Sephora.
It's a lot softer than a toothbrush and does a good job of getting in the nooks and crannies of jubilee bracelets |

I bought this ultrasonic cleaner: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-U...asonic+cleaner I have used it on my Rolex and Omega bracelet. Even though I am good about keeping my watches clean, the ultrasonic cleaner was able to get into places that a toothbrush cannot. Overall, I am very happy with my decision and for less than $30, you cannot go wrong. |

I use a soft toothbrush and warm, soapy water.
I have often thought that a shoe polish applicator brush would work well, but I've stuck with the toothbrush.

Chaps
Some of these threads are becoming a total farce. Rolexes are made for tough men who wear their watches in tough conditions. Please note the word "tough". You can climb up a mountain and plunge the Rolex into a freezing cold waterfall and it will take it in its stride. This is what Rolexes are for and this is why they cost a bomb. They are made to outlast you despite the tough and rugged life you lead. You do not need to worry about hiring some naked virgin cherub smothered in baby lotion to clean it with a brush made from rose petals. Just get a worn out tooth brush, slap on the washing up liquid and give it a good old scrubbing and rinse it off under the tap. It will come up all shiny and nice. However to keep some of you happy, perhaps it should be dried off with a towel made from the fleece of a 3 month old cub, from a herd of Himalayan goats found grazing on the south side of Mount Everest.

Just a plain old soft tooth brush and some warm soapy water. It looks great every time.

No brush for me.
I just wash with hand soap, rinse well, and dry with cotton towel. |

I use a Blackout Altitude toothbrush (Hover Brush). I figured I could spend a few extra bucks for a nice dedicated toothbrush that looks cool. The all black color, including the bristles, is a nice pairing for my Sub C. Will an old used up Elmo toothbrush that was made in China work just as good? Probably, yes. Will it look just as good and give me the same amount of pleasure? Absolutely not!
