Windex vs. Veraet

I've seen posts by many telling how they use Windex or Veraet as a cleaner. Is one as good as the other? If using Windex, should you use the "ammonia free" type? I currently just use a little mild soap/water with a soft toothbrush but have noted others expressing concerns about glycerin film buildup from soap.

I just take them in the shower with me occasionally and that does the trick.

Wouldn't Windex corrode the seals?

I use Veraet or a little Dr. Meyers soap and water. Looks grand!

Over time, very hot water and soap may accelerate the deterioration of your watch gaskets/seals.
