Preferred Stainless Steel Ceramic Cleaning Methods?
 

On my Planet Ocean and prior Submariners I generally take a crest battery powered toothbrush and some toothpaste, wet the brush, wet the watch, then scrub away. Particularly between links and on the inside of the bracelet case back etc. I usually do this 3-4 times a week and the watch comes out looking very bright.
Now that a Deep Sea will be on my wrist Oct 22 for my 50'th birthday I don't want to make any stupid mistakes. Is there a safer/better way to clean your watch every few days to get dead skin and dirt off the piece?

You feel the need to wash your watch 3-4 times a week? Are you molting or shedding your skin? Even for this forum, that is excessive.

Most toothpastes are slightly to quite abrasive. That combined with the power of an electric toothbrush will remove material over time. Doing it that often will certainly take its toll.

You can use a gentle soap like regular Palmolive dish soap and wash your watch under warm water. Use a regular soft toothbrush if it needs some extra agitation.

I simply take it off before showering and hit it with the tooth brush 2 or 3 times a week.
Excessive? I guess but I will tell you that even after just a couple days I see that the watch is much brighter after I clean it. Be surprised how much dead skin and dirt accumulates.

Mine gets washed when I was my hands

That's funny!
 

:chuckle:

I would use liquid soap over toothpaste for any watch, but other than that, you should be good.

Simple soap will do. An ultrasonic cleaner with jewelry cleaning fluid every blue moon is deemed excessive by many, but that's what I use -- same as the RSCs.

I wear my DJ's in the shower and that seems to be more than enough to keep them clean.

I feel awful. Since i have had my S/S GMT 2 i've never bothered cleaning it... I'll try the warm water and soap method tonight :$

I find a quick polish with my shirt cuff brings it back to its shiney self again :)

I wash my yachmaster with mild soap and warm water about 1x a day....The oil from your fingers takes no time to accumulate

I thought I was a little anal............Now I feel much better after reading this thread!!:twit:

Warm water with a little bit of detergent... something that is not too harsh... soap leaves soap scum behind...however small... learned that from my jeweler.
