Blue Dawn is a degreaser often used to clean wildlife after oil spills. Definitely gentle enough for your watches.
Oh okay.

Thanks for sharing

Never.

Watch comes off when I get home, it certainly doesn't make it into the shower.

Do you shower with your Rolex on?

I have in the past, but only once in a while when I want to give it a good cleaning.

Invention idea: a water-filled watch winder (with a little bit of mild cleaning solution in it).

If this thread goes on long enough, the secondary market will experience a year over year drop of about 30% for the month of March.

The thought of Rolexes being near balls and buttcracks is not very appealing. Even if soap is involved, it doesn't sweeten the deal for me.

No. I like to wash the wrist that would otherwise be inaccessible if I were wearing a watch.

Just make sure the solution is exclusive to you and expensive enough to hurt but not be too painful. Figure 49.99 a bottle that lasts 6 months. Have some promotion gibberish saying your fluid uses a natural lubricant only found in... and that extends the life of gaskets while also having a side benefit of........

Make sure you have some slick marketing to go with it and some pretty pictures.

I do. In fact I make it a point to take all of my Rolex’s including my wife’s in the shower every other week or so to give them a good cleaning with Dr. Bonner’s liquid soap and a soft brush. Cleans off the grit and helps prevent bracelet wear. They look nice and shiny afterwards.

At the gym after I workout, and when I travel and stay at a hotel, yes I shower with my Rolex (or my Speedy) on...,but at home...no.

Stop showering to save up for another Rolex. Calculated that if we didn’t shower we would save $100 a month so In 10 years I can buy another rolex
