Yo Guys!

I got a problem. My minute machine is dirty! :-p

I work in a store every day and I have contact to customers all day, and just now, 5 minutes ago, one of my customers commented on my watch (he liked it very much) but also told me it was kinda dirty.

I looked into it after he left, and I can see it is a bit dirty between the joints on the armband/whrist-thingie.

My problem is; how do I clean a material like titanium? Do I just dis-asemble the joint and just clean it with a rag or what?

Please help. Thanks.

Hey mate!

Nice to see another countryman! :-)
Hope you are good in the UK.

It's easy to clean - get yourself say an old tooth brush or a soft new one, a little water and a little dishwashing liquid give it a scrub all over (the tooth brush is good since it will get into the tinny places) then wash it all of and presto it will look like new.

I do this all the time, doesn't scratch anything and since the watch is water proof there's no issues there. So get scrubbing.

Great! Thanks very much!

sorry i am not danish-just my other half!
sorry for the confusion :)

Ditto on the toothbrush, you could also use a bit of toothpaste instead of the dish soap since it's titanium. Since toothpaste (not gel) has silica in it, it you'll also get a bit minor scratch removal when using toothpaste.

I have an access to an ultrasonic cleaner. I use it to clean the bands, but not the actual watch. Anyone know if the ultrasonic can mess with the internals?

the ulatrasonic cleaner is fine, it is what we use here to clean the watches at oakley uk

Even for watches cases o_O?!. I'm afraid that ultrasonic waves are bad for internal movements

christ, i really need to re-read some sentances! no its not a good idea to put the watch in with a movement inside it, youd need to take it out first of course, ive practised with a movement inside to see what happens and its been fine, but i wouldnt recommend it, its not hard to take it out though so better to be safe than sorry :)
