I also swear by this stuff. Lots of sales throughout the year. I’ve gotten my siblings to try it and they love it as well.

First of all $40 is for the kit. A small bottle can be purchased far cheaper. I found this product to do a real good job on SS watches not as good on PM. Personally I recommend it for SS.

soap does not leave water spots, assuming you rinse properly, hard water does ............

oh no... now we all need to install water softeners so we can rinse properly. This is getting complicated

Yup, use the curmudgeon method.......a quick lick of the crystal, case, etc. wipe with 100% cotton t shirt, voila, good to go!

It is a gimmick foo foo product. I have owned half a dozen Rolex watches over the last 30 years. Always cleaned them with simple, cheap Dawn liquid dish soap and warm water. Dry with a cotton terrycloth hand or bath towel. FWIW, my watch has never emitted any odor from Dawn after rinsing with water. I can buy enough Dawn to last a lifetime for $40 USD.

I really like the product but the shipping cost more than the cleaner. If shipping was cheaper I would get some more.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...If you want any level of clean over simple soap and water it has to be something like an ultrasonic. Another cleaning product is not worth any difference in price compared to Dawn. If you really need to clean your watch in a pinch(i.e. in your car, etc) a damp microfiber cloth is more than adequate.

ask sam... i think he is the UK distributor or something to that effect as he can get it. Are you getting it shipped from the US or is UK shipping that much?

Not gimmicky. Not foo foo. It just works and works really well. If you don't want to use it then don't.
For anyone else considering trying it, it works fantastically! It's much better than Dawn and water and as someone else stated it works on the go, unlike dish soap. Their watch brushes also work very well and won't scratch PCL's like a toothbrush. They usually offer discounts around holidays if you get on their mailing lists. |

Yes, I tried to get it from the US, when it first started they helped with the shipping but now, it's just too much. I just did this quickly, I didnt put in a discount code, it wouldn't make any difference to the shipping cost (This was the cheapest shipping avail). Screen shot.
