Hello! I wore my BB36 out this weekend for my birthday and someone spilled a drink on me and some got on the watch. I wiped it down pretty quickly but is there a good way to clean the watch? I’ve only had it for about two months now and it’s my first luxury watch so really want to make sure I’m following best recommendations for cleaning and keeping it looking new. Thanks!

Water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush is great on divers. You can even skip the toothbrush on the case, but it’s nice to get in the bracelet from time to time.
I wash my divers like that after A) going in saltwater, or B) every 10 days or so of wear.

You can wipe it down with water/alcohol mixture or even dish soap

Just give it a good cleaning with a soft brush, some soap, and lukewarm water.

It it looks visibly clean, you’re probably good, unless the crown was pulled out or something. I don’t do anything to my watches. Lots of watch enthusiasts don’t like to polish watches because they want the patina that comes with wearing them.

Visibly it’s clean and the crown wasn’t pulled out. There are some smaller dots that are a little sticky from where the drink spilled and splashed so wondering if there was a good way to get rid of those

Make sure the crown is threaded all the way down and wash it up under running water. It has 150m water resistance so you’ll be fine.

Water, it’ll be fine, just keep the crown closed.

Got it, thanks

Soapy water and a soft toothbrush will do wonders. Hand dry with a microfiber cloth after.

I mean honestly you could probably run it through the dishwasher without hurting it (not suggesting that, just saying it probably wouldn’t kill your watch). It’s a stainless steel sports watch with 150M water resistance. As long as the crown is screwed down you can wash it with soap and water in the sink, or wear it in the shower and wash it when you wash yourself, and it’ll be fine.

Appreciate the insight though!

Dish soap, warm water and a soft bristle toothbrush. Then run it under warm water to rinse and dry with a microfiber.

Screw crown tight, rinse with water, then put it in a bowl of lukewarm water and window cleaner. Rinse again. No brushes needed.

If you have multiple pieces of jewelry in your house, you can invest in a cheap ultrasonic cleaner JUST FOR THE BRACELET BUT NEVER PUT THE WATCH ITSELF IN (no watch is waterproof against an ultrasonic)

Cleaned it yesterday in lukewarm water, dish soap and gave it a good scrub with a toothbrush like many suggested and it looks great

Any Grand Seiko aficionados out there? Had always heard a lot about the finishing on GS watches - stopped by the boutique in Boston and was pretty darn impressed by the polish and glint on the dial - and then even more impressed by the zaratsu technique. How does that flash hold up over time?
