What do you use to clean between the links of a SA bracelet, I believe is a professional II bracelet? I don't know if using a tooth brush may cause any scratches. Thanks for your suggestions. :D

Soft bristled toothbrush is fine with just a little soap and water.

I have an ultrasonic machine so use that which works wonders - but only with the bracelet off of the watch.

I just shower in mine.....making sure the shower gel goes into the links and all over the back i dont touch it with any brushes i just lather the shampoo into and all over the watch then rinse off well with clean cold water.........then use the terry towel to dry it thoroughly..
no scratches or swirls..........a damp cloth with clear window cleaner wipe over then dry finishes the job a treat.........one extra bit i have been told to try is get some 3 in 1 oil on a duster and wipe the whole watch with it then wipe clean ....it cant do much damage and it can lubricate links.......i will try it soon......ive found no need to use a Cape Cod cloth yet anyway. :lingsrock: :wink:

Second vote for the soft toothbrush, warm water and dishsoap, works great and doesn't leave scratches.

Shower gel would make sense. I do know from previous experience from a watch I used to own and wear everyday and even shower in that soap build up does happen between the links, which in turn makes the situation worse. Dont think gel would build up though. I think this was from shampoo/conditioner 2in1 and bar soap.

I have a Chrono colt II on a pro II braclet, which unfortunatly lost some it's shine due to fingeprints, and stuff like that.
So basiclly, your sugestion would be to shower with the watch from time to time :) ?
