Micro Fiber cloth after you blow off the dust with canned air will avoid "swirlies"<<< Is that even a word?

I use it on my Breitling Seawolf that is polished Stainless Steel.

I do what Rolex recommend.

Bung it under the tap and slosh on the water and washing up liquid. Rinse off and dry with a nice Egyptian cotton towel.

Takes 30 seconds and looks good.

This!

haha!

I also heard rolex's are tough enough get water on them too.

The steel is of much better quality that that of your knives and forks.
Think of that when you next need to clean it.
How delicately do you treat a fork, and has it rubbed away down to nothing?

My first thought as well.

My Rolex branded cleaning/polishing cloth, which I got from a Rolex AD, is labelled 80% polyester/20% nylon.

SCsailor · 12 February 2015, 10:42 AM

This is a troll thread, right?

brandrea · 12 February 2015, 10:52 AM

A most enlightening thread

Interesting!

Micro-fiber clothes that many of us use on our cameras, glasses, and watches are usually made up with strands of polyester and nylon as thin as a hair..

Afghanvet · 12 February 2015, 02:05 PM

Microfiber or a lens cleaning cloth... but watch out once you finally get a real scratch on it!

Rolex57 · 12 February 2015, 02:08 PM

I agree, use a micro fiber cloth.

If you wash the watch and want to dry it, I use a hairdryer. works great and no water stains.

Fabrice M · 12 February 2015, 02:13 PM

Entertaining : )

Doug T · 12 February 2015, 02:28 PM

Use "Veraet" and a microfiber cloth.

Swaggy P · 12 February 2015, 02:54 PM

So can I use a microfiber cloth without any polishes or cleaners to simply wipe fingerprints?

Yes, and you can also use your shirt.

Swaggy P · 12 February 2015, 05:55 PM

You guys think I'm crazy, but do some research on the abrasive nature of polyester on other surfaces... That's why I asked about this...

You are correct.

Racerdj · 12 February 2015, 09:55 PM

I use a microfiber cloth to be safe.

Robert Cross · 12 February 2015, 10:00 PM

Depressing.....really?

Old Expat Beast · 12 February 2015, 10:07 PM

This thread is starting to get depressing.

I fully agree...
I wonder what the OP will ask once he gets his first scratch on his watch

I can't take this question serious, so I'm going with the troll suggestion on this.
