What I love about the LWC is that, though it’s obvious he must be a very wealthy person, when it comes to his relationship and interaction with his watches, he’s so down to earth and regular, with no airs or pretentiousness. You get the impression that his love and appreciation of fine watches is deep and genuine, unlike a lot of other posers out there

I don't think I bathed my kids so carefully. Liked the part about "quality time with your watch". The world is a better place because of people like you.

Owned a Rolex for 24years. I wear it all the time, also when showering my self. Clean as a whistle, also the Rolex 😉

Thank you for this. I just cleaned my wife’s Rolex and my Rolex after 6 months of ownership. I used the exact same method but with cold hair dryer. Also the same baby shampoo. They are amazing. As new. I can’t believe how clean they look. And we wear are watchers very gently. I didn’t realise how dull they go. Great advise!

Thank you for posting, just HAVE to say that that Rolex is a stunning watch, the blue dial which gently fades to black is just special.

I don't mean to be a critic here, but a watch is a tool, it's not a toy for a tackle tart. I bought my Rolex G M T Master "pepsi" in 1983, it spent the first 20 plus years in a safe, locked away never touched, but since then I have worn it daily, I wash it in hot water with wash up liquid and a tooth brush, no fuss, just shift the dirt, and clean the lens with toothpaste and rinse in hot water. It's never let me down, been serviced only twice, and was recently valued for resale purposes at £11,700, so no gripes as the original price on the receipt was £850.00. It's a tool, it does a job, and has happily rewarded me. I have swam, dived , flown helicopters and light planes (mentioned only because of vibration), raced motor cars, been deep sea fishing, and angling , worked in engineering and wood milling, still it ticks on. This is what owning a Rolex is about, for me I wanted a no nonsense rugged waterproof watch, and my Rolex has done all I ever wanted of a watch. I will soon (in the evening of my life) be gifting it to my only child, my son, and I trust it will serve him well until he too is looking at the closure of his days, alas he has no children so I hope he wills it to a private not for profit animal charity.

Great video! Recently I’ve just been using my bare hands and hand soap. Then I use a Dyson hair dryer to dry off the water. I’ve also used distilled water to rinse off the soap and tap water

Wow. Just...wow. I can't believe the quality of this content.

1. Get a bracelet removing tool . 2. Get an ultrasonic cleaner. 3. Get a toothbrush. 4. Get a magnifying visor. 5. Use a camera air pump, they are cheaper 6. Get a microfibre loop cloth 7. Use gloves to eliminate fingerprints Remove bracelet and drop in ultrasonic cleaner. When it finishes brush all the parts that trap dead skin and drop back in ultrasonic cleaner. if you are worried about scratching the PCL then bend the bracelet backwards and brush from the backside. Rinse and the water will bead off the bracelet, Case with crown tight, wash in warm or hot water with a drop of dish soap and scrub with toothbrush. Rinse. Loosen crown and use barely damp toothbrush to remove goo under crown. If you do not clean your watch, the dead skin will hold onto dirt which will sand the tolerances in the links to larger than you would want. The ultrasonic cleaner can be used for all jewelry and truly cleans a watch, eye-wear, coffee/espresso machine parts and so on. DO NOT put the case of the watch into the ultrasonic cleaner.

The blower will help with getting trapped water out from behind the bezel. I usually work on the case while I clean the parts in the ultrasonic cleaner. It is also a good idea to have spare appropriately sized spring bars on hand if you remove the bracelet. Some bars disintegrate or some should be replaced unless you want to see your watch travel at 9.8 metres per second per second to the floor when the spring bars fail.

Another one of your brilliant videos ! This one I keep watching as it is so satisfying !! I am a Professional Automotive Detailer, amongst other things. I work on some fantastic vehicles - the likes of Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Ferrari etc. In this ; or another video, you mention if your viewers use something else to clean watches ! I personally do what you do and then to finish up; add final touches , I use an automotive product called Optimum No Rinse, from the American brand - Optimum Polymer Technologies. It is a well known product among car detailing enthusiasts. It is a "rinseless-wash" solution that you add to water. I dilute it and put it in a spray bottle. Then I spray a little on a microfibre / spectacle glass cleaning cloth; wipe all over the watch and then a final dry wipe. It produces a fantastic finish, glossy shine look !! It prevents finger prints etc too ! Great to use at the end of the day ! Try it !!

One thing I would add is too expose the inside of each link on scrub between. Also a heavy detailing of the under side braclet. I'M sure you didn't mention or include closeups because on the clean condition but for those watching, Hair and skin oils do build up in every nook and cranny. I personally inspection my wch with a loupe after first rinse as you would m miss a sma'' detai. These suggestions are only to enhance your excellent video. And cleaning your watch is indeed "good quality time" for both you and your piece. ...WELL DONE !

And what about the watch with center mirror link? Can the toothbrush damage it (hairlines)?

looks so satisfying :) great video .

I dont trust the toothbrushes hard bristles on a polished center link bracelet (oyster or jubilee)...I have so many micorscratches on my center links (and especially polished center of clasp) on my batmam that couldnt have come from something much more abrasive than a mere toothbrush really. No? Is your method still the same on a GMT oyster or Daytona where its polished? Thanks for the great content as always!

Be careful of using dish soap. I learned from car detailing that washing up liquid often contains salts, which is best avoided. That why for cleaning cars we use specialist shampoos which contain no paint damaging salts. Your idea of using something mild like baby shampoo is probably best. Because your watch is mainly going to be soiled by things from your body: sweat, dead skin, hair, skin oils, etc. So it makes sense to use a gentle surfactant designed to deal with those types of dirt. To avoid water spots (because you could get calcium deposits from air drying tap water), I would pat the watch dry before using the air pump to try to get water out from all the nooks and crannies. It might even be a good idea to use deionised water for your rinse water which would completely eliminate the risk of water spots.

You are missing the point. Salts will etch stainless steel. Your watch may be tough, but it has fine finishing be it polishing, brushing or whatever. That is why the instructions in your watch manuals say that you should rinse your watch with fresh water after swimming in the ocean, so as to maintain it's fine appearance.

Best video on the subject. Thanks for sharing.

I never knew how to do this. I will apply this method for my Seiko watch. Thank you

I remember you made a similar video on the previous channel and I was hoping you woud do this video again at some point.The hulk needs to be cleaned, so thanks for sharing your method! Could the toothbrush create micro scratches on the polished parts of the case and bracelet? I used a soft toothbrush in the past just to be sure.

Hi, I was just wondering if you knew the best place to source a Rolex from 1997. The year is very important and whilst I've looked all around online, I can't find one to my exact specification anywhere..

This method works great. I used Head and Shoulders 2in1 and a soft toothbrush.

Great job, I always use baby shampoo, ph neutral, all good, thanks for the tips

I have the same watch and been doing something similar so glad to see I’m not doing anything wrong.

Love your videos brother. Much respect to you. I follow your steps and washed my Breitling Chronomat with a soft brush, a little bit soap and unfortunately it got for some reason really scratch up. Now I’m gonna cry myself to bed. So sad

Hi mate, can we use a hair dryer on warm temperature and right distance?

Very nice and informative vid.... I actually clean my G-shock's the same way but instead of the Johnson's baby shampoo I use the shower gel.. will try the baby shampoo next time

Do you recommend clean a titanium watch with this method?

Perfect selection for the video. That’s a great watch, it’s on my bucket list - but man, is it expensive!

Will toothbrushe scratch the side of my 114060 sub ? Or will it be ok as well as the brushes links in bracelet ?

Do you know what material is a Rolex light green cloth made from? The one that used to come free when purchase a new watch. Rolex doesn’t give that cloth anymore and I am trying to buy something similar to it. Please recommend me.

I am curious as to if the soft toothbrush will scratch white gold bezel ? I have mother of Pearl datejust with fluted white gold bezel

Thank you very much, I like the content, is this work with gold watches?? I think the brush will scratch the surface of the gold!! What do you think my friend??

I've a solid gold rolex submariner and never baby it like this, gold day date too. Rinse then with some soap under a tap and that's it

I use car shampoo rather than dish soap as it contains no salt, lukewarm water and a very soft tooth brush and gentle rinse, it comes up beautifully , I find once a month is a good interval for cleaning.

I like everything in this video. Thank you for the Baby Shampoo tip. I dislike how other videos just say mild dishsoap. I like having an actual name recommended. Also use bottled water or purified water because hard water can leave nasty residue behind. Thanks! Great job!

Beautiful watch 👍🏼

Just got a joe rodeo. Thanks!!

I was always curios to see a millonair wash his watches :D glad to see he does it like i do it haha Love your watches Greetings

Great info...thanks. What is the intro music? Pretty cool ;-)

Which watches can you recommend for around 1500€ (1300 Pounds)?

I gotta say your ceramic stainless does look great with the blue face👍😊

But if the watch has anti reflective coating on the outer side of the saphire crystal is it safe to use toothbrush?

So cool the reflection on the watch crystal at 4:00
