Cleaning your watch , How Do you Do It ?

[004]

Question ?? How do you clean your watch or dont you even bother ?

My Seiko's are 10bar water resist , so i rince them in fresh water & use a old toothbrush with some mild soapy solution . i proceed to brush around the glass , case & bracelet , then i rince it off & use a clean towel to dry it off .
The watch looks like new once again & all the built up micro dirt is gone leaving a fresh clean watch to place on my wrist again .

i don't usually clean my watches but if there's really a need, i uses the same method as you

but i'm more anal about preowned bracelet, especially if I just bought it preowned off from seller.

I'll use Jif & toothbrush to clean the bracelet or a simple jewellery sonic cleaner machine.

watch head, I'll just use microfibre cloth(those for cleaning spectacles) to clean the case & caseback.

As most of my watches are divers I normally use an old toothbrush and toothpaste. I find the fine abrasives in the toothpaste helps in the process. The minty fresh smell is a plus

You just don't want to waste the old toothbrush right? Wah old toothpaste also have? (I try to use new)

Alcohol wipes are a good disinfectant and washing with water helps. Obviously I find it most helpful to have a pair of hands in addition to the microfibre cloths for drying. Hmm ultrasonic cleaners for jewellery, where's a good place to get one?

I buy my ultrasonic cleaners from eBay

Yes but only on polished surfaces I was told. Not brushed surfaces.

Ultrasonic for me too. For new divers, whole head goes in together with bracelet. For vintage no.

So many tips.... what is a good way for Vintage watches?

I have been trying to secure the case first then trying hard to use Q Tips to wipes the tiny grooves.

Is there a better more practical way to do this?

Hi,
wana check with u guys if u know how to remove the bezel of a Seiko map meter watch? Feel like removing it for polishing and cleaning inside. Any advise?

[fireal]

most likely just slip thin blade between bezel n case and snap open like seiko monster

but u better check around first

[jaydentan]

I generally clean the dial and glass with soft cloth,and stores it after use in watch box.

I tried but surround it is the rubber shroud ,so dunno which angle to slot it in to pry it up. I've tried thin blade flat screw driver but it's tight so I dare not pry up more before check around which is the best method.
