A small Elma ultrasonic cleaner will last you a long time, they are the Rolex of ultrasonic cleaners and the small ones that fit one bracelet are just a few hundred dollars.

You really don't need to spend much, a $30 China special from Amazon will get your bracelet clean.

I presume you should remove the bracelet from the watch prior to bathing in an ultrasonic cleaner?

Be careful what you buy, folks. I had (for an entire day) a $90 cleaner from Harbor Freight and it did not work. It made some buzzing noise, but the "cleaning" did not happen. Not in the least. It went back for a refund the next day.
 Still looking and will do some research on the Elma . . . .. . thanks for the input.

Is the actual cleaning solution. Also scrubbing it with an old toothbrush beforehand or halfway through helps a long way. |

I own a GemOro for two decades. Works like a charm and worth the investment. I use it to clean all sorts of stuff. I have a two tone oyster from 1984 and it turned the water black. Came out brand new. Must have never been cleaned before me.

I own this one and use it for my partners jewelery and have used it on my watch bracelets as well.
Take the bracelet off and put in this cleaner with warm water and a little dish soap. Good to go https://www.amazon.com/gp/slredirect...one_search_atf |

I have a Crest Ultrasonic (unrelated to the toothpaste brand). It's a industrial grade unit that has digital settings for heat, power level and (of course) a timer. Built like a tank and built to last. A bit on the pricey side but if you're serious about cleaning stuff with it, it pays for itself. I use it to not just clean my bracelets, but use it for my "other" hobby too.
