I just caught sight of a couple of minor water spots on the face of my C/A, any recommendations on what to use to clean them away. Tired only water and a cloth, but am leary about using some solvent/cleaner etc... that might screw it up..please advise. thank you for your time.

You might want to test gentle soap and plenty of water. Stay far away from any solvent, because that will only hurt your watch (especially gaskets).

Soap and water should be just fine. I "bathed" my SuperOcean in water and Sunlight dish detergent for 10 years every 2 weeks or so with no ill effects. It sparkled like new after every wash. Just make sure to rinse well.
Cheers,
Carl

Second what Carl said. I even bought a medium toothbrush (wrote WATCH ONLY on it) and scrub my daily worn Steelfish down every few weeks with soup and watch and then dry it off with a soft cloth. And I will be the first to tell you that Breitlings AR coating is TOUGH. I am obsessed with a clean crystal and my watch gets the ole hot breath and polish against the shirt about 10 times a day and still shines like new.

Good to see that there are other "clean crystal addicts". I do exactly the same and polish it many times every day. :D
