I use Wrist Clean once a week for my daily wear, yes it’s more pricy than plain Ol soapy water but I enjoy the process of cleaning the watch and it s smells great and it looks great when done

I have worn mine 24hrs a day, shower, pool, hot tub, beach, ocean. Playing drums, shooting thousands of clay targets, mowing lawns, no issues going 10-15 years between service.

Dish soap (like Dawn), and kitchen tap warm water rinse , dried with a paper towel, once a day in the am while I am waiting for coffee to brew.

Never an issue.

Besides a dawn bath Vareat Wrist Clean is the best I've found. I like their cloths as well.

I heard you don't need to wash the watches where the Rolex crown perfect aligns as they self-cleaning... is that true?

The only moment when I take off my watch was on the shower, after the pandemia, I shower with my watch on. The soap is the best product.

I use Cartier Jewelry/Watch Lotion Cleaning Kit got it when I bought the ring.

It s like you put some lotions on the watch bracelet lol. I like the feeling once you applied it on, it make the bracelet feel like new again, very smooth and delicate.

Just follow the advice on Rolex's website, which is;

People also ask:
“How can I maintain my Rolex watch?" / "How to clean my Rolex" / "How do I wash my Rolex?”

You can help preserve its lustre by cleaning it occasionally with a microfiber cloth. You can also wash the case and bracelet (except leather straps) from time to time using soapy water and a soft brush. After wearing your watch in the sea, it is important to rinse it with fresh water to remove any salt and sand deposits. Before cleaning your watch, always ensure that the winding crown is screwed down properly against the case to guarantee waterproofness.

Thats what I do.

You need to try Perpetual Detail. They Have a quick Detailer and other good products as well.

Dawn dish soap. If it is good enough to clean oil off ducks it is good enough to clean my watch. Also let’s remember most of these watches are tool watches and getting them wet a.k.a taking a shower or going swimming with them is actually not even close to what they were designed for. Don’t be afraid to have fun with your watch and enjoy it.

I use fairy washing up liquid because it doesn't leave streaks and makes the watch sparkly and new.

It is also readily available in my kitchen at all times!

I've been cleaning my TT GMT 1675 with jars of jewelry cleaner from the jeweler store since 1986. It does a good job and I haven't had any issues. Dip it, brush it, rinse it and dry it.
