    What I love about the LWC is that, though it’s obvious he must be a very wealthy person, when it comes to his relationship and interaction with his watches, he’s so down to earth and regular, with no airs or pretentiousness. You get the impression that his love and appreciation of fine watches is deep and genuine, unlike a lot of other posers out there

    Thank you for this. I just cleaned my wife’s Rolex and my Rolex after 6 months of ownership. I used the exact same method but with cold hair dryer. Also the same baby shampoo. They are amazing. As new. I can’t believe how clean they look. And we wear are watchers very gently. I didn’t realise how dull they go. Great advise!

    Another one of your brilliant videos ! This one I keep watching as it is so satisfying !! I am a Professional Automotive Detailer, amongst other things. I work on some fantastic vehicles - the likes of Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Ferrari etc. In this ; or another video, you mention if your viewers use something else to clean watches ! I personally do what you do and then to finish up; add final touches , I use an automotive product called Optimum No Rinse, from the American brand - Optimum Polymer Technologies. It is a well known product among car detailing enthusiasts. It is a "rinseless-wash" solution that you add to water. I dilute it and put it in a spray bottle. Then I spray a little on a microfibre / spectacle glass cleaning cloth; wipe all over the watch and then a final dry wipe. It produces a fantastic finish, glossy shine look !! It prevents finger prints etc too ! Great to use at the end of the day ! Try it !!

  • @jeffhutton323
    @jeffhutton323 5 лет назад +6

    One thing I would add is too expose the inside of each link on scrub between. Also a heavy detailing of the under side braclet. I'M sure you didn't mention or include closeups because on the clean condition but for those watching,
    Hair and skin oils do build up in every nook and cranny. I personally inspection my wch with a loupe after first rinse as you would m miss a sma'' detai. These suggestions are only to enhance your excellent video.
    And cleaning your watch is indeed "good quality time" for both you and your piece. ...WELL DONE !
