That thing looks wild. I may look into buying one of those.
And steel wool goes a long way to polish up the bracelet and remove any scratches.
Cleaning Cases and Bracelets
Hi All
I am looking for some sage advice on cleaning watch cases and bracelets.
Over the years I have collected a number of watches, some very cheap quartz pieces and other slightly more expensive purchases such as a few 50’s Seamaster’s and my work horse, the Tissot V8.
Unfortunately, due to my job and hobbies a couple of them are starting to look a bit grubby with grime between the links, around the crystal and a few scratches to the case and bracelet.
I am pretty hands on and would really like to have a go at cleaning them up myself. However, before diving in and ruining my watches in an attempt to clean them up, I wanted to do my research.
Could anyone tell me what are the best, most appropriate methods /materials to use when cleaning watch cases and bracelets particularly those made of stainless steel and how would you approach the different finishes, for example a brushed finish.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated:smile:
Many Thanks

Thats an interesting tip for the scratches with the Scotch Brite pad.Old tooth brush and a non-abrasive tooth gel, scrub up to a minute or two, then rinse with cold water and dry with a towel.
To touch up the scratches on a brushed stainless steel band of case, I use Scotch-Brite pad and brush lightly in one direction.
How are the results?
