Just throw it in and wait. Hey Wayne, if salt water don't get the crud out then vinegar wont help much. Watch makers used salt water to remove broken off screws from watch movement plates. I'll take good care of your watch. Been needin some gold teeth anyway. < Message edited by capsoda -- 1/22/2006 2:51:07 PM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Mihai) Post #: 21

RE: Gold watch? - 1/22/2006 3:56:02 PM    capsoda Posts: 7924 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: online Hey Mihai, sulfuric acid is toooo dangerous to work with in an uncontrolled atmosphere. Muriatic acid is very common and easy to get for cheap in building supply stores. It's used to bleach concrete and clean swimming pools. Hey Wayne, been out picking up a fews boxes of goodies from a friend. I'm fixing to go through them. < Message edited by capsoda -- 1/22/2006 2:59:15 PM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 28

RE: Gold watch? - 1/22/2006 4:12:43 PM    Mihai   Posts: 276 Joined: 1/3/2006 Status: offline Hello, Warren I'll buy acid as soon as I'll have the opportunity. I need to clean properly my whole colection. The mighty three bottles. Actually only one is glass. I'm not worthyyy... And about sulfuric acid, don't worry, I broke about 30 car batteries, recovered the lead and mould it into fishing beads, for my personal use and for an extra buck. No wonder I'm taller than my hair now. Did you get my message the other day? _____________________________ Mihai This whole worlds wild at heart and wierd on top (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 29

RE: Gold watch? - 1/23/2006 12:11:43 AM    huffmnd   Posts: 372 Joined: 8/8/2005 From: Sparta Tennessee Status: offline This talk of acid personally makes me nervous! I deal a lot with antiques sometimes watches. This might be a good old boy trick here in Tennessee but it has always worked for me. Try using fishing reel oil, you can get it just about anywhere you can buy fishing supplies. It is made for oiling up fishing reels and it's good to loosen them up too if they are all gunked up. It doesn't only have oil in it but some acid too and it won't harm your metallic pieces that you use it on and it will loosen them up and get a lot of the build up off. I wouldn't want to burn something up with acid when you might want to err on the side of caution and take it slow with this. (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 31

RE: Gold watch? - 1/23/2006 12:36:32 PM    Mihai   Posts: 276 Joined: 1/3/2006 Status: offline My dear friends, with great sorrow I have to inform you that the patient didn't resist the treatment with vinegar. After a long battle the watch finaly gave up, the colour turned pinkish and that's it. Time of death? Who knows, the hands are long gone. _____________________________ Mihai This whole worlds wild at heart and wierd on top (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 32
