Cleaning an old watch

[Tam]

Hi all

I've just bought an old Tissot Seastar off ebay, and its arrived :-)

However, it's fairly grubby, with lots of muck on the case. What's the best way of giving it a good clean? I don't imagine its waterproof, so just elbow grease and patience??

thanks
Tam

Hi Tam

I find the best way to get rid of thick crud is to use cocktail sticks and cottonwool buds, the buds can be dampened if it's really srubborn with warm water/fairy washing up liquid..

If it was a waterproof case, i use a toothbrush with the fairy/warm water mixture and they usually come up gleaming
