D daveb99New (to me) PO arriving tomorrow. I want to give it a good clean before wearing. What's the best thing to clean it with? I’ve heard about using a toothbrush and toothpaste, soap and water etc etc. Just want to give it a thorough clean but obviously not risk any damage.
Any advice would be much appreciated….
I've had Seamasters of all variants for 35+ years and never done anything different and had no issues. Wash it when you wash, simple.
Sorry guys, you don't get to see the full length shower shot!
Wash it when you wash.
I've had Seamasters of all variants for 35+ years and showered, bathed, swam, sat in jacuzzis and steam rooms, never had a single issue with any of them.

Toothpaste? Never heard of that.....
Toothpaste is for fixing light scratches on Hesalite crystals, although I've used Brasso wadding myself for the last 50 years. It can also take very light scratches from bracelet clasps (but not the ones in this thread: https://omegaforums.net/threads/all-clasps-should-look-like-this.136949/ )
I cleaned the bracelet of my Reduced last week. Off the watch, soak in warm water & washing-up liquid for a couple of hours, scrub with the softest toothbrush on sale at Tesco, hang up to dry for 24 hours, replace on watch head. The watch itself had a going over with cotton buds, tooth flossing and a little alcohol contact cleaner.
Yeah, I knew about the toothpaste connection with hesalite. The op sounded like using it for general cleaning.
I'm not sure if I would use any toothpaste or toothbrush on that nice outer AR coating...
