How to Clean My Watch? Listen up, y’all, gonna tell ya how to clean that watch of yours, the way I do it. No fancy stuff, just plain ol’ common sense, ya hear?
First thing’s first, get yourself a soft cloth. Ya know, like the kind ya use to wipe yer glasses, only cleaner. Don’t go usin’ no scratchy paper towel, that’s for sure. You’ll mess up that purdy watch face, and then whatcha gonna do?
Now, if yer watch is just a little dusty, just wipe it down real good. Back and forth, get all them corners and such. If it’s got one of them metal bands, pay special attention to the links, that’s where all the gunk hides.
But if it’s really dirty, like maybe you been out in the garden or somethin’, then ya gotta do more. Get yourself a bowl of warm water. Not hot, mind ya, just warm. And a little bit of soap, the kinda soap ya use for dishes. Don’t use nothin’ too strong, ya don’t wanna ruin the shine.
Put a tiny dab of soap in the water, and swish it around real good. Then dip that soft cloth in the soapy water and wring it out good. Ya don’t want it drippin’ all over. Then, just wipe down the watch real gentle. Don’t go dunkin’ the whole thing in the water, unless it says you can, some watches ain’t made for that, ya know?
- Wipe the face real careful.
- Wipe the back, where it touches yer skin.
- Wipe the band, front and back.
If it’s got a leather band, don’t be dunkin’ that in the water, no sirree! Leather don’t like water. Just wipe it down with a damp cloth, that’s all. And then, and this is important, ya gotta dry it off real good. Use another soft cloth, a dry one this time, and wipe it down till it’s shiny and dry. If you leave water on it, it’ll leave spots, and nobody wants that.
Now, some folks, they like to use all sorts of fancy cleaners. But me, I say keep it simple. Soap and water, that’s all ya need. Unless it’s really grimy. Like you been fixin’ the car or somethin’, all covered in grease. Then maybe you need something stronger. I heard tell some folks use a little bit of ammonia in the water, but be careful with that stuff, it stinks somethin’ awful, and too much will eat right through things.
Some folks also say you can make a fancy cleaning mixture. I heard tell of some mix that has a bunch of stuff in it. Something about water, ammonia, acetone, that stuff that takes off nail polish. And some other things I can’t even pronounce. They say ya mix it up and let it sit for a day, then you can clean all sorts of things with it. But that sounds like a whole lotta trouble to me. Soap and water does just fine for my watch.
And what about the inside of the watch? Well, that’s a whole different story. I don’t mess with that. That’s for the watch fixer people. If yer watch ain’t workin’ right, don’t be tryin’ to take it apart yourself. You’ll just mess it up worse. Take it to someone who knows what they’re doin’.
Another thing, if yer watch has diamonds or other fancy stones, be extra careful. Don’t scrub too hard, you might scratch them or loosen them up. And don’t use any harsh cleaners on them either. Just a gentle wipe with a soft cloth, that’s all they need.
So there ya have it. That’s how I clean my watch. It ain’t rocket science, ya know? Just common sense and a little bit of elbow grease. Keep it clean, and it’ll last ya a long time. That’s what I always say. A good watch is like a good friend, ya gotta take care of it.
And remember, if you ain’t sure about something, ask someone who knows. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. That’s what neighbors are for. And if all else fails, take it to the watch fixer, they’ll know what to do.
Now go on, get to cleanin’ that watch. And don’t forget to wind it up, or it won’t do ya no good! That’s all there is to it. Keep it simple, keep it clean, and your watch will keep on tickin’ for years to come.
One last thing, don’t go losin’ that watch now. Keep it on your wrist or put it in a safe place. And if it’s one of them fancy watches, don’t be flashing it around, someone might try to take it. Just be careful, that’s all. Alright, I’m done talkin’ yer ear off. Go on now.
