How often do you remove and clean your bracelet?
Giving my jubilee bracelet a bath in the ultrasonic today. It is the most comfortable bracelet ever created, however it is prone to stretch over the years if it gets dirty.

Do I have to remove it? I clean mine under the sink constantly

If using an ultrasonic clear, then yes. If just running it under the sink, then no.
For any vintage watch, I treat it as though it has zero water resistance however.
It makes my blood pressure rise when I see people wearing their luxury watches in the hot tub!
I just buy a new one every time and throw out the old. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do?
I remove it once. Then it stays in the drawer. 😁

I’m taking about my “modern” watches with water resistance.
When it needs it…
Not too often.
When I notice gunk between the links I'll grab a few Q-Tips and have at it.
Remove to clean? I would say right around the second of never.
😂😂
I soak the whole watch in dawn dishwashing detergent and water for about 20 mins. Rinse it off. Dry with paper towel.
My watches get wet quite frequently. I generally don’t need to remove the straps to clean them. However I have in the past on occasions where they got quite dirty.
You didn’t disclose how frequently you clean your bracelets.
I said "D."
With a collection exceeding 120, no watch is ever worn frequently enough to get crud in it, especially since I wipe down my watches after each wearing.
This may make people cringe or panic, but for every watch I own, sans the tank, if I wear it that day, I also shower with it that evening. 10 years in and nothing bad has happened thus far.
I should get out a sponge and some dish soap for my PDâÂÂs, honeslty.
