water + a few squirts of NTUC housebrand hand soap.. :mrgreen: from experience, the number of rounds seem to matter more than the specific solution used..

Re: Ultrasonic cleaning my watches...
Don't keep them in the water for too long, once you done washing, take them out.



I notice some stainless steel tend to rust if they are in the water for too long...

Oh definitely, in fact I will quickly run them thru tap water to cool down, before blow drying them.
