Does anybody know how to clean hair and dust stuck between bezel and glass ?
Does anybody else have this problem with their Sub? Is it normal that hair/dirt get stuck in those places specially on a brand new watch ?

didikwahyu · 13 July 2020, 06:47 PM

Just use your own common sense soap and water and perhaps a soft brush, rinse after in running clean water, dry with any clean lint free cotton type cloth.

After a 100 m deep dive it’s clean as a whistle

Ceramic sub? You can throw it in some boiling water if needed (not kidding).

This is actually correct.

Ok thanks for all the advice. But is this dirt / hair common on new watch ? Is it easy for hair/dirt to get stuck between bezel and glass ?

G3Z · 13 July 2020, 10:43 PM

Depends how much you wear it I guess?

Off Script · 13 July 2020, 10:48 PM

WristClean by Veraet works great. I also recommend their nylon premium super soft watch brush. It works great and no scratches/swirls. They usually send out discount promotions.

GONZO2LR · 13 July 2020, 10:49 PM

how did you deal with this issue before, on your other watches? Dude...just a watch...hand soap, a soft toothbrush and running water...move the bezel around and pull the hair off....wipe dry with a towel....real simple...its a tough Rolex....just don't drop it on the floor...some of the things i read on here make me laugh....sorry.!!!!

I was pretty happy with the way Veraet WristClean worked on my Yacht Master bezel. They also provide a very soft bristled brush and drying cloth. It did a great job.

iTreelex · 14 July 2020, 02:37 AM

you're overthinking this OP. The bezel rotates and has spaces in between, things will get stuck in it regardless. Just soap and water.

doramas · 14 July 2020, 02:45 AM

Warm water, neutral soap, extra soft toothbrush and business done.

Ah... wash it periodically. There are very dirty people who have filthy watches

Judge · 14 July 2020, 03:04 AM

Once a week, I use a small dab of dawn liquid and a toothbrush. Rinse with hot water and dry with lint free cloth.

chro.nic · 14 July 2020, 07:30 AM

Try those compressed air canisters that are for keyboard dust removal!

gtnator · 14 July 2020, 07:32 AM

Totally normal. Just clean it as folks above describe.

Throw it in a boiling water, don't let it stay too long or just put it under running water

ToyotaMoe · 14 July 2020, 09:36 AM

Seriously. Another one of these guys looking at their watch with a magnifying glass.
I have a recommendation. Just stop wearing your watch. Put it in a safe. Then sell it to me in a few years and I will enjoy it.

Daniel2020 · 14 July 2020, 10:02 AM

Thanks for all the advice. Really appreciate it .

Do you dry it off with underwear from your dirty clothes hamper too?

James1978 · 14 July 2020, 11:23 AM

Sometimes i pass it to my cat if he’s in the mood to groom my watch... but usually I use an old toothbrush with some dishwashing liquid
