  • Could someone remind me on the best technique for lightly cleaning the outside of a watch please? Is a slightly damp toothbrush the way to go for removing the grease/dirt between bracelet links?

    I've just inherited my grandads watch - it's just an old Seiko quartz so nothing special but has sentimental value so I'd rather not break it.

  • Is a slightly damp toothbrush the way to go for removing the grease/dirt between bracelet links?

    Yes, a soft toothbrush is perfect. If the watch is waterproof then doing it in a bowl of clean cold/tepid water makes it easier to get rid of all the gunk.

  • If it's waterproof I've previously soaked it in a bowl of Coca-Cola. If it'll melt teeth it'll melt dirt.
