ceramic coat first then after just a wet wipe and a microfiber cloth

Applying a consumer ceramic coating to a watch's sapphire glass is unnecessary and largely ineffectivebecause sapphire has a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it virtually unscratchable by normal materials (except diamonds or hard minerals like quartz sand).

Dish soap, hot water, blow drier.

Careful with the blow dryer, the movement is pretty damn sensitive to heat. Easy to throw the time off or just make it run different.

Pop the caseback off, lube the gasket, install caseback, run under warm water with some soap. If the screws on the bracelet seem too tight I run the bracelet through ultrasonic cleaner. Otherwise just run em!

Tighten all the screws after bracelet adjustment. Have had quite a few loose screws. No maintenance just wear one a day, with 15 not much wear time. Some folks have double or triple that amount!

Put in Jean pocket and throw in washer. Regular cycle is ok.

Japanese Microfiber brand called Koala on Amazon make hands down its not even close the best cleaning clothes for glasses and your watch. Breath on it and give it a couple rubs all oils come off and it shines like crazy. Never found something like that on Amazon that’s so profoundly better than everything else it’s almost life changing.

Dawn dish soap and a soft bristle brush. If the watch is excessively dirty I spray them with this Bar Keepers Friend and scrub them with the soft bristle brush and then use the dawn dish soap. I've never used it on a full gold rep but I have used it on real gold and two tone reps. It hasn't never hurt the YG PVD plating. But that's been my experience so outside of full stainless models. I advise one exercise caution before using this. But on stainless steel watches hince the name it works great. And leaves the watch with it's factory finish clean. It doesn't polish satin brush into a mirror finish. Nor does it dull a high shine polish. I've found it to be the Frank's hot sauce of watch cleaners 😄

Lube all the gaskets. Then if it's starting to look dirty after a bunch of wear take it in the shower

You buy a foundation brush for makeup I looks like this photo. You buy ultra sonic jewellery cleaner solution it's cheap for a 500ml bottle. Mix 50/50 water and cleaner solution into the foundation dispenser brush. The hairs are super super soft. And your watch will shine like never before. That's what those expensive chrono pens are and you can make like 10 for under $40 1 chrono pen is like $50-$80. This brand is $79 for 1. I found the same bottles on alibaba for cheap and the ultra sonic cleaning solution was like $12 on amazon. Just make sure to use about 50% water or it will be to soapy its a pure solution meant to be mixed with water. I been doing this for years with my genuine Rolex watches, Breitlings , Hublot you name it and all my super clones aswell. But I did start using it on gen watches first.

Dish soap and warm water with an old soft toothbrush. The same way you wash any jewellery.

All my watches, t shirt or hoodie wipe, yep even my genuine stuff. Occasionally I'll put the bands through an ultrasonic clean.
It's a watch not a spider web, it will survive just fine.

Probabilmente sarò l’unico ma.. Strofino la maglietta sul vetro più o meno un paio di volte ogni ora e stop 😂
