Does Your Rolex Sparkle?

This has been a topic of debate lately, and I think it is rather simple to keep your Rolex and other luxury watches clean. Simple soap and water has worked fine on my luxury watches for many years. Using a dish soap is not advised as people have had problems with the grease cutting properties drying out the gaskets prematurely. Even when you clean your bracelet often there is no reason why a gentle hand soap and your fingers can't wash your watch well. A soap with hand lotion will not harm your fine timepiece if it is not posing any problems for your hands. I rinse my Rolex Submariner on a weekly basis and have never had any issues of build up on them. Make certain that the crown is closed snug and can't come loose. If you notice any moisture or condensation than bring the watch in for inspection. This is just a suggestion and is not the only way to clean your Rolex or other luxury watch. Other people might use a gentle brush, but this has never been necessary for me.
