·The heater helps too, I usually do 50-60C, which is cool enough to not really negatively affect anything, but softens dirt/etc well.

·5 mins?! I usually do mine for about three 15 minute stints. Unless it’s already clean I’ve never had a bracelet come out clean after 5 mins. There’s always hidden dirt inside the links etc.

Had an Omega 1098 bracelet a few days ago that was filthy. End links were completely filled with skin cheese, and all over there was solidified dirt that could be barely scraped.
Gave it a brush with soap and warm water. 2x 5 minute rounds in the US, changing water in between, and came out sparkling.

·I tend to find the external Surfaces of the bracelets come up sparkling in 5-10 mins but if I get a pin between the links there’s still crud in there so it takes a good 30 mins to get rid of all that usually.

·At one time I contemplated buying a jewelry/parts drier. Then I noticed the air fryer in the kitchen….

·We have an air dryer that I run in a bathroom (small space) with its exhaust pointed towards the bracelet (the air outputted is both warm and dry). And wipe them with a cloth before placing there.

·One thing to note about ultrasonic cleaning is that they can sometime loosen screws, due to the vibrations involved.
One of my many pairs of glasses (yes one of the joys of being an old bastard with shitty eyesight is forever having to change glasses to see what the hell your doing) has a screw that needs re-tightening after every bath.
So it is conceivable that if you were to give the whole watch a bath it may well end up with a screw loose inside!
