Not as often as the BoneDoc but mild soap, water and soft tooth brush once every couple of weeks. |

Whats the best way to get out those real small scuffs you get on the botton of the bracelet when wearing the watch and its touching the surface of lets say a wooden desk top? Ive been contemplating dropping it off ay my local AD to get a buff n clean. |

Ive been contemplating dropping it off ay my local AD to get a buff n clean. If it's a polished bracelet then Cape Cod polishing cloths are the best IMHO. Search on eBay. If it's brushed, then a fibreglass pen designed for the job is your best bet for small areas, or you can use a green Scotchbrite pad as long as you go easy and go with the "grain". If the bracelet is brushed AND polished, you can still use the above methods, but just mask off the other area with tape. |

Apart from that I use sunshine cloths on my SS as and when needed, but normal day to day is just a soft dry cloth. Stef |

I have found that the best way to just clean the watch and bracelet is window cleaner with ammonia. I just pour a bit into a bowl and let the watch soak in it for a while. It has a remarkable way of getting all the gunk out of the nooks and crannies. Then I use a soft tooth brush and go over it. To finish up I use a cape cod on the polished surfaces and one of the refinishing pads on the brushed for touch up. I think that the refinishing pads are really just brown scotch bright. |
