Do you mean a "dirty" bezel or a "scratched" bezel?

Just a dirty one. Because it is fluted or notched I can't wipe it with a cloth so it doesn't stay as shiny. It isn't filthy, just regular oil buildup from wearing it everyday. I was scared to put a toothbrush to it, and wasn't sure on the soap type. Doesn't handsoap have conditioners in it so your hand doesn't dry out?

Just give it a wash when you have a shower,or like JJ said you will not harm your watch.And I can assure you that a little
bit of any soap,that you use on yourself,cannot harm your
S.steel watch.

All correct for cleaning a dirty fluted bezel (or any Rolex, for that matter). I use a soft toothbrush, but I use a mild dishwashing liquid soap instead of hand soap. Some hand soaps do leave a residue.

Other than that, wash away! JJ says his watches do a backflip into the tub, they love it so much!

Personally, I don't, but some of these guys do....no harm really, but the watch can get in the way.

Just do what I've advised above. Keep aside an ordinary SOFT toothbrush, dab it into a bar of ordinary soap and use ordinary running water. Rinse thoroughly and PRESTO....that WG bezel will be shining like new!
