Hi Guys

Which is the best way to clean your Submariner (16610).

My AD told me that I shouldnt juse soap ore other kinds of cleaning products.

But how will I get it really clean? Just by water? I doubt it.

All advice are wellcome.

(sorry about my spelling)

The Best to you all /Adam

Probably not the best way to do it since soap accumulates in the nooks and crannies and can acually collect dirt and grime and act as an abrasive. Like JJ said, best to use non-abrasive mild soap, water and your wife's toothbrush. I mean an old toothbrush. While off your wrist, scrub gently in all the nooks and crannies. Best done with the bracelet removed. The crevices on the clasp collect dirt like mad, so give those spots extra attention.

Adam, I use dishwashing liquid and a soft toothbrush. It really makes the stainless steel sparkle!

RRGHOST1 · 20 January 2010, 09:09 AM

My father in law always asks me to clean his SS GMT 11c as he wears it 24/7 even in bed, so i clean it with a mild liquid soap and a soft toothbrush. What i think is funny, is that the only time he takes it off, is when he takes a shower !

walds11 · 20 January 2010, 10:09 AM

Too funny. I do the same thing. I don't want to get soup scum on my watch.

I've used my waterpik to blast out the dirt of watch bracelets and stuff for years.

sakuraba · 20 January 2010, 12:52 PM

I use an ultrasonic cleaner that gets the dirt out from in between those pesky jubilee links.

sea-dweller · 20 January 2010, 02:21 PM

Dishwashing soap, toothbrush, cotton towel and elbow grease.

kyle L · 20 January 2010, 02:23 PM

Veggie Cleaner, scrubble bubbles, toothbrush, warm water.
