Hello Everyone,

I am new to the AP gang as of the last 4 weeks or so I picked up a 26331ST- Panda

I have read all of the 92 threads on cleaning and daily maitenance of the Royal Oak line, but no one really addresses cleaning the ROC with non screw down pushers.

It makes me slightly nervous to have rubber grommet seals and cleaning it with water. I know its water safe to 50m but still makes me nervous. As long as pushers arent pressed while wet im safe but does anyone have any specific advice?

I ordered the wristclean starter pack which will arrive any day now but for now have been rinsing with warm water and a tad but of dawn dish soap. And then air drying with the Opolar cordless air duster from amazon.

I do my best to keep water and the air compressor away from the pushers.

Thanks in advance as ive only ever dealt with screwdown pushers/crowns and not rubber seals.

u should be completely fine with water and soap.

Pretty sure most modern watches wont disintegrate or spoil just by touching water

Soap and water with the occasional windex rub down for me with all of my watches. Dab dry with paper towel and back on the wrist.

You'll probably have more of an issue with sunscreen getting between the buttons you have sunscreen on and sweat a lot in the summer. Otherwise I think you'll be find without pushing any buttons.

It's a sports watch, you can dunk it into a bowl of water if you wan't... Not even the offshore line has screw down pushers and I among other can confirm you can swim with them. If it's an older piece and you are aren't sure about the seals just have it pressure tested.

You need to post a bit more so we can see a picture of the dirty Panda.

Is it wrong that I find this sentence hilariously dirty?
