Thanks bro.

as suppose my bracelet doesn't have any noise after oiling. but! It does have the original "wet shine look" anymore . As bracelet come new from tc or gen, it has a layer on smooth shine , but after cleaning with soap or silver cleaning cloth, the layer is totally gone. I hate the dry look on the bracelet

Should we spray telfon coating on then?

 

The standard for a gen-feel bracelet is to use a high quality "dry bicycle chain lube" .. it is a liquid in a bottle

 

Ok, here's what you do. Take the bracelet off of the watch. Place the bracelet into a plastic zip-top bag, and then squirt the dry lube all over the bracelet.

 

You will be amazed how much dirty machine shop grit and black scum is dissolved by the lubricant, and comes out of the links.

 

Now seal up the baggie, and work that bracelet with your fingers thru the sides of the bag. Give it a real workout.

 

Now unzip the baggie, and take out the bracelet. Place it onto a clean cloth to dry. The lubricant is very volitile, and will evaporate quickly.

 

Once you are satisfied that the bracelet is dry, buff it briskly with a microfiber cloth. What you have now, is a bracelet that's coated all over the entire inner mechanism with teflon.

Are we not suppose to use silver polish cloth

 

Cape Cod polishing cloths are abrasive. They are used to polish out light scratches. If you use a Cape Cod chemical polishing cloth on a brushed-finish bracelet, it will remove the brushed texture.

 

You care for a brushed-finish watch bracelet with a green "3M" brand scrubbing pad. Brush the bracelet in 1 direction only, with the grain of the textured finish. Once all the daily scratches have been removed with the 3M pad, wash the bracelet in dish soap and water ... good as new!!

 

If you are super-serious about bracelet maintainance, buy an inexpensive (but functional) ultrasonic cleaner and use 1/2 Windex and 1/2 tap water in it. LIke this one ----->>> http://www.meritline.com/sonic-wave-cd-2800-ultrasonic-jewelry-eyeglass-cleaner---p-55402.aspx

 

Be certain the unit you buy is really ultrasonic .. some crap you can buy is just a vibrating pot ..

Hm, I've never ever felt the need of lubricating my bracelets. All my bracelets are so nice, smooth and quiet :) what are you guys doing with your watches?

This procedure adds a certain silkiness to the bracelet movement.
