TOP TIP! In the bottom of your sink, place a towel or cloth for the time you're cleaning and the watch slips out of your hand. Whoops! Ask me how I know!? Otherwise this is on par with what I do for cleaning, though I use jewelry cleaning and small detailing brushes (makeup brushes), same blower setup as well and micro-fiber cloth. Thanks for the great video!
I am 61 now andI have owned Omega JLC Rolex and countless dozens of other watches and currently have the GO SeaQ panorama date. All of them have been scrubbed under a lukwarm tap with fairy liquid all over. I have done this for the last 50 years from my first watch aged 10 with absolutely no issues and its absolutely fine for all watches with sufficient water resistence. I certanly never have used that blowy thing and a hair dryer!!! Good god man. :). This said its good to hear a no nonsense way of washing your watch. Ive seen so many ridiculous and silly ways of doing this on youtube. PS. Love your vlogs and I do hope you have returned to rude good health.
That’s great to hear. The soap I use is kind to my girly soft hands.
Thank you so much. I cleaned my planet ocean and she looks brand new!
I use “Razzle Dazzle” jewelry cleaner or “Watch it shine “ both are excellent.
Good video. A baby toothbrush is better than a “soft” kids one, these are properly soft for gently cleaning gums and tiny baby teeth.
I use Molton Brown hand wash and works a treat (just happens to be the preferred hand soap at home.. You don't need that little blower - just blow away any excess droplets yourself with your own lungs man, then use microfibre and fine cloth to finish. I'd avoid a toothbrush - no matter how soft - especially on those with outer AR coating. Last but not least, I trust you are well on the mend Andrew.
All good, but I’m out of puff so need a hand.
Good point on not using grease cutting dish soap I'll have to change my wanton ways
top tigggger tips I love the idea of removing tiny drops of water on a dive watch
You don’t want to get the desk wet.
i use 3M scotchbrite to get the scratches out of my 2265.50.00
Good show. Great vid, practical. Ty.
Low temperature 30 in the dishwasher with a Finish powerball never fails only on metal straps though.
Not a bad call.
An Eeyore brush would have been more appropriated for an English watch channel :). Jokes aside, thanks for sharing. I just bought a 3861 Moonwatch and was hesitant to wash it. I wonder if PH neutral soaps found in automotive detailing would be suitable. Good vid, thank you! :)
Great watch, enjoy. Hesalite or sapphire? I’m going with soaps kind to my hands, kind to my watch approach.
@@TheEnglishWatch Hesalite! I'm a big NASA fan. I was not a fan of the polished links and milky halo of the sapphire. AD said they could sell and install the display case back once the 5 year warranty ends.
Great choice.
lovin the Aldi hand soap. :)
I use a similar method, except I use a washing up bowl with lukewarm water and Johnson's baby shampoo 👶🦆
What’s good for baby is good for the watch.
@@TheEnglishWatch My watch IS my baby 🤣🍺
Useful information thanks
pop your diver in a sock then gentle wash in the washing machine. not done it myself but I've read others have done lol
I'm guessing the sock is so the washing machine doesnt get damaged? 😂
Sounds risky to me, but if it works….
@@WatchesOnWood LMFAO 🤣
Pro tip: Make sure to add bleach.
I’ve water marks on my Rolex bracelet. Do you have any tips on how to remove them? :D thanks
Try using a bit of hand soap on a microfibre cloth. Lemon juice or a spot of spirit vinegar may also work. Give it a good wash and dry afterwards.
@@TheEnglishWatchthank you so much. I’ll try :D
I'm not so precious with my Sinn 556s or Tudor BlackBay 58. Little bit of dishwashing liquid, rub it under lukewarm water, a try cloth and there you go
But I would never put my 1998 SpeedMaster under the tap. I know it's not squeaky clean, but did Buzz Aldrin have time to wash his Speedmaster during the Apollo flights anyway ?
I’m finding everyone has there own ways which is great to hear.
Where did you get the orange strap for the Speedy? Have an Omega P/O 43.5 and need a summer strap, running into many dead ends for it. Rubber is ideal but that’s a cool piece
That’s a BluShark sailcloth strap. A bit wooden, but very cheap. Suspect there are better ones out there.

Before and after pictures would have been cool.
We own the same model microwave.
Check my Instagram for before. It’s nasty though.
Part 2 title "Water damage on my Speedmaster" 😂
Where did you get that strap again from Andy? Looking mega 👌
The Blue rubber? It’s the Good Planet GMT strap. Your AD should be able to source one.
@@TheEnglishWatch yeah mate but I have tried many times and they can't
The part number is 9800.04.34. Call Omega directly they sell spares. They may ask for the watch reference which is 232.32.44.22.03.001
I looked on swisswatchspares.com and it’s out of stock. Maybe it’s the last of its kind 😢
@@TheEnglishWatch they can’t get hold of them tho mate
Omega direct? Blimey. I’ll be seen a few for sale on foreign sites. Just Google the part number without the dots.
No need for dryer or blower. If you wear the watch your natural body hear will quickly cause any moisture to evaporate.
Have you ever swam with your watch or showered with it? Did the watch remain wet for very long? Your body’s natural heat will cause evaporation of moisture. Similar to the way heat is dissipated when you perspire. Point is a towel dry and then simply wearing the watch will have it completely dry in less than a minute. However if you blow drying it makes you happy then go ahead.
Glad you cleaned that watch cheese is disgusting 🤮
Come on… spit & your t-shirt OK surely!? 😉
🤢
Dude, you have too much time on your hands
I used to use good quality of car shampoo it works and protect
