Hi All,

How do you normally clean your stainless steel watch? water, just a microfiber towel or sunglasses microfiber? to avoid marks

Paging sam

He is the wristclean advocate here. I was skeptical but not anymore. They have a rubber cleaner too for straps that i really like.

I’m based in the U.K so unable to help but have a look at Wristclean (Veraet) I gave the guys at a recent AP GTG some to try and I believe they all highly rate it :thumbsup

Water and liquid soap for the beginning.
After the first rinse veraet/now wristclean products (watch spray, toothbrush, all kind of clothes).
Make the steel on my Rolexes shine like a disco ball.

As a matter of fact i have just washed my SD. Here are some pics that i took.

[dysondiver]

newer stuff ,,, soap and water ,,, nail brush rinse and wear

older stuff ,,, white toothpaste pea sized drop in palm of a wet hand , lather then scrub with a nail brush ,,, rinse and wear

but only if im happy the water resist is good , other wise its a dry paint brush and jjust wear.

Lovely stuff Pano.
What toothbrush do you use and how? Which parts of the watch?
Do you dry it with a particular cloth?

I use an ultra soft toothbrush and soap/water, once a week. Wiped with an eyeglass cloth after it's dried off.

[solrac6262]

I'll try the Veraet stuff

[Rsubnodate]

Veraet is the best

the drying cloth and microfiber cloth they have are also very nice. Id just get one of the sets vs just buying a bottle of watch cleaner. The microfiber cloth is pretty standard, but the drying cloth is better than what i had before and its different than the type of cloth that comes with eye glasses or other optical products.

The one from wristclean (ex veraet).
It's extremely soft.
I brush everything in the watch and i'm watching not to bump the hard plastic of the toothbrush with the watch.
After i rinse the watch i use the blue drying cloth to remove the majority of water and dry the watch off. It's soft microfiber with a suede feel.

I bought them in 2010 and they are still in great shape and do excellent job.

Since then i only bought a replacement new bottle watch spray and some replacement HD 5 cloths that i have always with me for removing body oils/salts and fingerprints on the go. Everything else will put micro scrathes in the highly polished surfaces of the watch.

this.

It was an ongoing issue with me. Im not paranoid of scratches either, i just have an issue putting new scratches on my watch during the process of cleaning it. Every other cloth i had used before this was an issue.

Does wrist clean work just as well on PM - specifically AP RG?

I can verify it works great on platinum

it does as far as i can tell. I have a leather strap on my RG currently so cleaning it isn't as thorough as with my other watches as i don't want to get the strap wet. But other than that it does the job.

Yes, I used mine for the first time in ages, my bottle will last five years at this rate! and it really does shine up nicely, I'm gonna put it next to my TV so during commercials I will give my watches a quick brush, makes such a difference, esp during winter when there is less sunlight to dance off your watch.

[jumpmandk]

TY to both!

[SpeedyTuomas]

Eyeglass-wipes. Have been working great.

[lapince]

I attach all my watches on the mirror of my car when I do a car wash, get clean car and watches at the same time

That's incredible it looks like a brand new watch! I'll have to check it out sounds like it beats dish soap.

[SC11]

Have a look here

https://www.wristclean.com

I have no affiliation with the company but have helped members in the U.K get it but as most of the guys on here are US you can order directly.

And for anyone with a ROO I highly recommend the rubber cleaner not only does it clean it gives it a nice finish and a small level of protection against white marks etc.

Also use Veraet aka Wrist Clean and it works really well!

Given your collection that’s a big endorsement

How’s the wrist time going with the Ti Vs RG?

They will get pretty much equal wrist time. The Ti probably more so even in the Summer given how light and comfortable it is. Both great watches and they make for a great pair. So my guess is will stay equal with one maybe getting a bit more time but not too much!

Always liked RG/Black watches but just thought they didn’t suit me but I’m slowly warming to the ideal

My only reservation would be difference in weight and how it balances on the wrist, which is one thing I love about the Ti.

First, to original poster: your watch looks clean enough to eat off! Beautiful job.

Kinda' surprised no one has mentioned Cape Cod cleaning cloths. They're a soft cloth saturated with a "magic solution" that is unbelievable for fine metals.(all of them)
I've been using them for years and not only do they work beautifully, there are no nasty residue or artifacts.

You simply rub a section of the watch, ring, chain, etc. with the saturated cloth and gently buff to a dazzling sheen.

Inexpensive, easy to use and available online. (Plus they have a "tasty" vanilla scent.)

Check 'em out - a GREAT product!

I thought from reading other links that Cape Cod was designed more for PCL or polished links?

Does it work on brushed areas like above pictures and the brushed links of RO bracelet?

I know these are for polishing out marks and you are rubbing off material every time, and it is certainly not to be used on brushed surfaces. Maybe they have a cleaning cloth as well.

Thanks for clarifying!
