Cleaning the watches is always hard. Much easier to clean my silver jewelry: just use some toothpaste lol.
Thanks for the tips. I always got my handwatches to a professional because they seemed so hard to clean. Will take your tips into consideration next time.
Hello SOFLY,
I just noticed your website and would like to order a catalogue (if possible). I’m interested in watch parts and tools as well!
Thank You!!

Good info. I like it. I am curious in the case of old movements. Timex etc, not expensive. Are there cheats to getting old mechanicals going again without overhauling. I heard of a fella using petrol. Put the whole movement in to soak. Then alchohol. Only oil the mains etc. What do you think.?
Maybe I need to look at better screwdrivers.?
I’m glad you explained that an ultrasonic cleaner can be used to clean up the parts of a watch. In the next couple of days, I want to purchase an antique watch to add to my collection that I started a couple of months ago. These tips you shared will help me to know how to properly clean my watches and make sure that they last for a long time.

Since the water can make metals rusty, I use benzene to remove grease and oil, ultrasonic cleaner, hair dryer, and for the last clean into acetone, dry them once more then asembly. This methode is work only on mechanical movement, don’t use it on Quartz or hybrid movement. Benzene and acetone will damage the plastic parts. So be carefull.
