I often use the anti-reflective eyeglass cleaner to clean the crystal of my Omega. I just had a thought about it... I wonder if it is OK to use it every time the crystal gets dirty or just use a micro-fiber cloth is better in the long run because the chemical might mess up the reflective on the crystal overtime?
Thank you for your answer.
I prefer to use dishwashing liquid.
Recently I discovered that a lot of well known dish washing liquids contain salts to aid their cleaning action. That's why they end up leaving accumulated micro scratches when used to clean things like motorcycle helmet visors - which is how I found out. I'd avoid using them on a watch too...
You need some of this:

Fantastic stuff, originally developed for restoring old car headlights. It works great on any kind of acrylic or plastic surface to get those little scratches out. Yes, it works great for plastic watch crystals too. I haven't used Polywatch in a long time.
You're using that as an alternative to Polywatch? So you recommend it over Polywatch?
My optician recommends plain water (leaves no residue) for cleaning lenses. Then, wiping with a very clean microfiber cloth. Clean the cloths using Dawn dish soap. Even among the fountain pen crowd, Dawn is seen as the lowest residue soap out there.
