There was, but it ended at the first post...

"because: watches"

 

Do you need a reason?

 

This one works well for me, and holds up reference books between cleanings.

 

Yes, it's worth it. Get one.

 

I have 2. One $30 cheapie from Walmart that works pretty good on generic jewelry / bracelets. Warm water and Dawn soap. One vintage Bulova purchased at a flea market for $5 that will take flesh off the bone. You can hear the dirt and grime in there SCREAMING for mercy. Need to be careful with it as it takes off plating.

 

Wow that sounds cool!
Got a cheap plastic one myself but always find it a bit hard to see a difference between before/after (except on gold maybe) although you can see the grime in the bottom of the tank.
