I wash mine every time I'm about to put in back in the watch box and grab another watch. Typically switch watches every day or two so washing watches almost daily.

What about you?

inadeje · 2 July 2023, 10:23 PM

Occasionally but not often - was my reply.

Rolex1982 · 2 July 2023, 10:27 PM

I chose not often as option. I wear my GMT meteorite all the time. Day and night. I wash it when i shower. Once a week /two weeks i clean it with dishsoap and a toothbrush.

Krash · 2 July 2023, 10:30 PM

Once every 2 months maybe…

I wash daily with Dawn dish soap.

~ once per week in the summer, less often in winter and almost always when a piece is not going to be worn for a while.

Cigars&Watches · 2 July 2023, 11:17 PM

Every couple of months or so

1William · 2 July 2023, 11:19 PM

On occasion but not that often and not by any type of schedule.

Commander C. · 2 July 2023, 11:20 PM

I answered "occasionally but not often." My watch is steel. I wipe it with a microfiber cloth each night when I take it off. Every couple of weeks, I clean the watch and bracelet with a Zeiss lens wipe. Every couple of months, I wash the watch and bracelet with Dawn.

karleone · 2 July 2023, 11:47 PM

I was washing it once a week maybe before. But then I got the Daytona and the ceramic bezel and polished lugs gets dirt very easily so I almost clean it daily under water and some soap.

Solo118 · 2 July 2023, 11:57 PM

I shower with it every day, does that count?

Oystersteel92 · 3 July 2023, 12:03 AM

None of these fit. The answer is, more frequently in the summer (I live in the humid south) when I'm sweaty, less frequently in the winter when it's dry.

I will also only put a relatively clean watch back in the box. I rotate between my watches, and if I pull one out I wear it at least a week, and sometimes 3 or 4, then rotate. Serial watch monogamy.

humphries.mc · 3 July 2023, 12:36 AM

More in summer. Daily when at the beach. Or after a day in the pool.

Calatrava r · 3 July 2023, 12:46 AM

When it needs it. My Rolex do not collect crud in crevices like some watches tend to do. So washing is not needed often. If I went to the beach or was in dusty gritty conditions with a watch on, I would wash it soon after to remove sand, salt and grit.

HogwldFLTR · 3 July 2023, 01:25 AM

Whenever I do dishes!!!

Mr Ben · 3 July 2023, 01:42 AM

Proper clean once a week if I’m wearing it daily.

Dan Pierce · 3 July 2023, 01:48 AM

They get a cleaning when they need a cleaning.

X2. Keep the dirt and oil off the watch will greatly reduce the hairline scratches.

Chewbacca · 3 July 2023, 01:58 AM

I take Padi’s advice and use Wrstclean or Vereate daily.

JJGreen · 3 July 2023, 02:04 AM

Only after swimming or having it on at the beach.

Lex_Ordo · 3 July 2023, 02:12 AM

Quick rinse of soap and warm water to get any oils and other elements off, from the day of wearing.

I started scrolling and I kind of got sick to my stomach with some of these replies.

I’ll usually shower with the watch I’ve been wearing all day so I now keep a small bottle of Dawn in the shower for my watch. Then I put on a different clean, dry watch for the rest of the day.

JSolution · 3 July 2023, 03:01 AM

Just in the shower every day

Whenever I see greasy fingerprints.

KatGirl · 3 July 2023, 03:20 AM

When I notice it needs it, which is about once a week. I remove my rings, put a dab of dawn in my hand, add water and then hold between my hands and rub it down, rinse and dry, and back on my wrist. Then, rings back on.

Honestly once a year or so I mix up some soapy water and soak it for a minute or two and rotate the bezel a bit before rinsing it off.

jb335 · 3 July 2023, 04:13 AM

Is it even safe to wash your Rolex??

Joking.

I have a rotation but I’d say I wash every 7-10 wears. Just a small amount of Dawn dish soap and a micro fiber to dry. No toothbrush.

My AD also washes my watch when I stop by.
