Proper way to clean a rolex?

What's the proper way to clean a rolex?
Is it just soap and water?
Can I use a toothbrush with soft bristles? haha

Yes soap and water is fine. Washing up liquid or hand soap will work well.

Soft toothbrush is also no problem.

Wait for a heavy rain storm, then drive your car at the fastest speed limit possible on the highway with your wristwatch out the window.

No need to wait for rain, you can do this at your local car wash.
