Cleaning Supplies
Before you start cleaning your watch, you'll need to gather the necessary supplies:
- Soft cloth
- Jeweler's loupe or magnifying glass
- Small bowl
- Soft-bristled toothbrush
- Mild liquid detergent
- Distilled water
Removing Debris
Once you have your supplies, start by removing any debris or dirt using a dry cloth and your loupe or magnifying glass. This step is important, as it prevents further damage to your watch.
Cleaning the Watch
Next, create a cleaning solution by mixing one part mild liquid detergent with six parts distilled water in your bowl. With a soft-bristled toothbrush, lightly scrub the watch's metal and leather components with this solution. Avoid getting the solution on the crystal or face of the watch and be sure not to scrub too hard.
Drying and Polishing
Once you've finished scrubbing, allow the watch to air dry for several hours. When it's completely dry, polish the metal components of the watch with a clean, soft cloth.
