Sure, why not. Or you could use an industrial fan, or just throw in the tumbledryer.

I thought about the clothes dryer but I didn't want to damage the dryer. Hair dryer is much easier. If you don't true the pressure washer just throw it In the dish washer....top shelf only tho.

I recently tried out this stuff called Veraet watch cleaning spray. It works pretty good and the best part is the silk cloth.. it works great for cleaning.. I really like it. Costs a bit more than simple green but we spend like thousands on our watches so I figure $15 ain't too bad.

I video'd the first time I used it lol

I saw that video but I can't remember how I was directed to it. When I picked up the LE SOHC my AD gave me a Cartier cleaning set and I asked if they used this stuff. That's when she spilled the beans - Simple Green.

But after some of the posts I thought it wise to perhaps dilute it, so I do. But it does a bang up job of getting the built up body oils off the watch, is quick, and easy. I used the same "method" you showed on that video. I make sure to over-rinse in warm water. Seems, though probably just my imagination, that the watch thus cleaned holds off some of the smudges for which our polished bracelets are magnets.

You reckon that taping it to the hood and then drive through the car wash would work? Would be especially nice with a premium program, all waxed afterwards.

That's brilliant..then I can drop it off at Jiffy Lube for a quick service, oil and seal the gaskets.

I just gave this a try and it worked pretty well. I would definitely recommend diluting it a lot. I found it left quite a lot of soap residue on the watch otherwise that required a lot of rinsing.
