Re: Cleaning bracelet

In Response To: Cleaning bracelet ()

: I used to clean my old watch bracelet with an
: old toothbrush and some liquid hand soap to get
: between the links. Does anyone think this would
: be harmful to the finish of my new watch?

Soap of most any kind is a bad idea, though liquid soap is not as bad as bar soap. They are all somewhat abrasive and if they get down in the links slowly wear away the joints.

Frankly, just stick with the toothbrush and cold water. That should do all you need!

: Also, the serial number starts with a 485.
: Does anyone know approx. when the watch was made?

Email the full serial number to watch@omega.ch and they can tell you exactly when it was made.
