First AP--How to wash/clean--44mm ROO Titanium

I just purchased my first AP BNIB from an AD. I got the new 44mm ROO with the titanium case on a grey rubber strap. Just wondering what the best way to clean/wash it after going in a pool or the ocean. Thank you.

Soap, soft tooth brush, and warm water for me.

You need a bowl of angel tears, a brush made with unicorn hair and Swiss elf to carry out the procedure

Only messing as above mild soap, soft tooth brush and give it a good clean, make sure crown it tight

Same way you do your nether regions – a big scrubbing brush and lots of carbolic soap.
The (new-age) alternative is to simply rinse with ordinary water and pat dry, in order to prevent hard water deposits.

Or these if you've got them lying around

They’re fine for using after having sat down on the loo, but next to useless if you’ve got betty swallocks – that’s where the carbolic soap and brush comes into play!

This is what I did after a solid week of beach and pool activities. Let the watch sit for a few minutes, then some very light scrubbing with the wristclean brush
