Spa Day
I did a dumb thing today; spraying sunscreen on my watch.
That meant I should just do a spa day for all of them.
Little soapy water, a toothbrush and voila!
All my pieces are fresh & clean.
How often do you give yours a little TLC?

Waterproof watches I'll usually rinse under the tap after a week of wear, and give a thorough scrub with the toothbrush once a month, or if I notice some grime accumulating around the caseback.
More delicate pieces I try to wipe down each time before putting them back into the box.
That probably felt therapeutic for you and your watches. It's nice occasionally to just zone out on a task like this where one can feel satisfied with the results. It's the kind of thing I sometimes do when I'm avoiding a more important task like fixing a leaky faucet or replacing a few roof shingles. Not exactly being lazy and unproductive but purposely avoiding something less fun.

Pretty close to my regime!
It depends on how dirty my watches look. Though they at least get a quick wipe down when I wear them.
I've been lazy as you can see from my greasy #wruw pics 🤣
Ha! today is Strapapalooza day at my house. Been doing a lot of spring cleaning of bracelets and had some new straps show up yesterday and today. So going through the whole lot, which is a Lot! Loving this Vario 2 piece on my solar G. reminds me of Keith Haring artwork
Every day I give my turtle a little rinse, a shine with a microfiber cloth, and a quick squeeze of my dust blower before my WRUW post.

Fluffing it up nicely 😉🤣

If you don't fluff your turtle daily, you're gonna have a bad time.
Nowhere near enough
Strapapalooza!
I have been thinking about this. I really should clean my watches more often. Always wary of washing and wiping them though. And what abt bronze watches? How do you take care of them?

Bronze is of course a different animal.
Should be rinsed & immediately dried frequently. Don't want it to patina too much from salt one may sweat onto it.
The nice thing about bronze is a little lemon juice can reset the patina.
Lots of bronze care articles out there written by people more knowledgeable & experienced than I.
Wash my Vanuatu everyday when I got back home from work. Cleaning out all the sweat & grime after a long day
Weird way to do a SOTC post!
