Looks like a steam cooker.

Hopefully you gave it a rinse afterwards as well! That machine is great! Use it for my significant other's engagement ring all the time and comes out sparkling

stylinleems · 6 April 2019, 11:26 AM

I have the exact same ultrasonic cleaner, it works great to get the crud out of my chains, bracelet and earring! Haven't used it on a watch bracelet as of yet.

SunTzu · 6 April 2019, 11:30 AM

I've been using a GemOro for years. Nothing to be scared about!

cop414 · 6 April 2019, 11:31 AM

I have the same one, works great.

antbkny · 6 April 2019, 11:34 AM

Do you guys use it with just water?

blada4life · 6 April 2019, 11:41 AM

Thinking of buying one. $39 on Amazon. What settings do you use for the cleaning?

Just did the same this week with my 116619. I use water and jewelry cleaner that I think I also got off amazon. It’s kinda like detergent and soapy. Rinsed it off and good to go for awhile.

Jim Smyth · 6 April 2019, 12:30 PM

My wife worked in a Jewelry store many years ago. They used water and Mr. Clean 50/50 solution. Works great.

Nice Kermit

ppalasthira · 6 April 2019, 01:30 PM

Congrats. That looks good.

rod442 · 6 April 2019, 06:12 PM

Thanks for the post, I'm going to pick one up from amazon while they are 40 bucks...

Can anyone else elaborate on settings for it?

and I see mr clean and 50/50 water.
do you use deionized, distilled, etc?

BisonHead · 6 April 2019, 06:40 PM

Defiantly thinking of getting one of these. Watch bands and my wife's jewelry esp bracelets like pandoras

amh · 6 April 2019, 10:44 PM

Why even take the bracelet off? If it's "safe" to nuke a Rolex like this I'd just give the whole watch a bath once a month.

Chester01 · 6 April 2019, 10:50 PM

My god. Is this really better than soap and a toothbrush.

snowblaze · 6 April 2019, 11:27 PM

I just got one ultrasonic washer recently too. Set a timer for 5mins. The water wasn’t dirty so I Guess my watch is not that dirty after all :) it was a pleasant experience without having to brush and clean it myself

dnpina · 6 April 2019, 11:57 PM

I could use that!

There are no real settings on this model. I have the same machine, though the brand is is different. One button is to control the timer and the other two are on/off. Simple but effective.

I use mine with a splash of straight ammonia ($0.97 at Walmart) and hot, hot, hot water. Ratio of around 1 part ammonia to 8 parts water.

SG56 · 7 April 2019, 11:48 PM

I have the same one and I love it.
I put it my jewelry all the time.
I just use a few drops of dishwasher soap.

DO NOT PUT PEARLS IN IT.

I think it says in the instructions, but here again for those who don't read I struxtions

Cleans glasses and sunglasses great.

I always put it in 480 seconds and sometimes run a few cycles. Rinse with water. Done.
