Watch body/crystal cleaning?

I think I got the idea on how to clean the bracelet (U/S).
How's about the rest of the watch (without going to my nearest AD)?

Thanks!

Water, soft brush, gentle liquid hand soap followed by a spray of Veraet and a wipe down with one of their soft cloths.

A soft bristle tooth brush and soap & water for the entire watch. Make sure the crown is screwed down all the way to ensure waterproofness, then dry with a cloth. Cape Cod cleaning cloths are great for removing light marks and scratches.

All any Rolex oyster watch needs is regular washing in plain old soap and water,rinse well after and dry with any clean cotton type cloth.There is no need for any special foo foo sprays or special foo foo cloths, this is what Rolex themselves recommend soap and water and normal routine say every 5-7 year service.
