Cleaning / Washing Your Vintages
Hi Guys,
Just curious on how you wash your vintage Rolexes. Both the head and bracelet. It is understood that for vintages it is best not to let it touch any water. So how do you clean these if dirt and gunk are all over? Any ideas? |

If it's been pressure tested recently (and passed), and it's a Rolex oyster case, you're probably fine to submerge it.

Exactly no matter the age if it passed the pressure test its fine to put in water.
