Quick question, i saw people mention a certain cloth they use to clean their watches to give it that brand new shine. What are those clothe named? Where can i find some? Lastly, any good 'watch cleaning' tips? Thanks! |

Cape Cods and some people use Sunshine. Link to the company here http://www.capecodpolish.com/products/main_index.php and a reseller for Sunshine here http://www.sunshinepolishingcloth.com/ but they can be found on the net, Amazon, on ebay and ACE hardware stores. (Not sure if you have ACE in Canada.) |

a word of warning. Cape Cod removes brushed finishes as well as the AR coating on the lense. |

Neither Sunshine nor Cape Cod are for cleaning, they are for polishing. Cleaning is simply a matter of soap and water and a soft toothbrush. There's nothing that you can do about scratched AR coating on the crystal. |

And one more thing. I don't know anything about Panerai water resistance but if you're going to use soap and water just make sure the watch is water resistant enough to subject it to direct water exposure. |

Ok, and br the one i got is 100m and the 217 i'm thinking of getting next month is also 100m. Someone told me 1 Panerai isn't enough... urgh he was right. |
