Hey guys my beater Citizen Titanium Calibre 2100 needs a good cleaning again and I'm going to try and get some of the scratches out with the various eraser, scotch brite, cloths... methods. In the past I have used an old head on my Sonicare tooth brush to clean up the watch. It's an eco drive so I'm not terribly concerned about the vibrations but I usually clean the bracelet under water in a mild warm soapy bath and the case out of water.

Anyone else ever use a sonicare to do this?

I'm going to document my scratch removal attempts to see how it goes. Might help to answer some of the mystery surrounding Ti scratch removal

Personally I WOULDN'T clean any of my watches with any powered toothbrush. A soft brissled toothbrush cleans with little problem and I dont see the need for power tools on my watches. This from someone who really gunks up the daily watch on a regular basis. My regular Steelfish is on a Ocean Racer strap and with the diagonal slashes in the back of the strap...well it can get really disgusting. About 10 minutes with a regular toothbrush, plain ole bar soap and cool running water and its super clean again.

FYI

I use the Oral-B Vitality, it's faster than with a normal toothbrush.
