Watch cleaning

[Mr Happy]

I wear my PO 24/7, and took it off today to see that the underside of it has accumulated quite a bit of detrius that needs getting rid of!

I've read on here that using warm water to clean the watch can be bad for it as it can make the seals shrink, so what is the best way to go about the cleaning process? Soapy water, plain water, warm water, cold water, toothbrush???

On the not unreasonable assumption that 24/7 includes some form of washing of the watches host...

I use a nailbrush in the bath

Warm soapy water and a soft bristle tooth brush will shift it.

Well, ok, 24/7 is a bit much - it sounds stupid but I take it off to wash myself, then slap it back on. It's water resistant to 600m ffs, I really should MTFU and get the bloody thing wet once in a while!!

Seriously though, shower + shower gel + old toothbrush will do the trick.

As others have said ... Lots of warm water, some washing-up liquid, and a toothbrush It'll be nice and shiny once done!
