I didn't want to foul up a thread on the collection forum, but was wondering
Anyone have any advice on keep a watch looking, shining and new ?

) yes, He knows his stuff, but I was hoping for a public answer, to help
Others not just myself. ( I'm very like Ghandi, in that way) )

Soft tooth brush and some washing up liquid is the best thing.

I wanted to say the same thing - but make sure that the watch is waterresistent when you brush the watch with soap and water.

You can buy cheap ultrasonic cleaners. They are great cleaning the metal bracelets of watches, but don't dip the watch into the ultrasonic.

Remove the bracelet or put the watch on these plastic holders which keep the watch above ' sealevel'

Because it's somehow related:

If you are in a very remote place and you enter a shared shower room together with your little pal - like some member here - let's call him PMS8cm - then don't remove your Rolex and leave it near the washing place - keep on wearing your watch - no matter what you are doing in that shower! ) ) )
