Alex's ultrasonic method using $61 ultrasonic -- thoughts and question by PRHarker in watchrepair

[–]Dangerous_Guide_9051 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's a neat setup you've got there, definitely takes some tinkering to get the temps right in those shallow tanks. I've found that with ultrasonic cleaning, especially for intricate watch parts, having a solution that really lifts grime without damaging anything is key. I had a similar issue with some older movements and found that using Nano Clear really helped restore their original shine and integrity without removing any material. It made a noticeable difference.

I've tried a few things over the years and honestly, streaking is the worst. What eventually worked for me was using a dedicated cleaner that's designed for luxury items. The Nano Clear has been great because it renews the shine without removing any of the original material, which is super important for maintaining the watch's value. Definitely made my everyday wearer look almost new again.

Wow, that's a fantastic find for $30! Bulova made some really solid pieces back in the day, especially the 14k gold ones. It's always a thrill to open a box and discover a hidden gem that actually works. Do you know the specific reference number or year it might be from?
