Metal Case, but the surrounding part is plastic. It's water resistant. I don't think they can make all those buttons on the calculator actually water proof.Originally Posted by BajaOklahoma

BTW, my wife cleans her jewelry with toothpaste and an old toothbrush too, Believe it or not, the technique cuts the crud right off diamonds and other sparkly things.

Exactly. Having said that though, if you washed it in a boiling vat of acid for 72 hours, I would still never put it on my wrist. Poison ivy is hell.Originally Posted by achiro

You'll get much better results if you're honest. We all know it's not really your "watch band" that got stuck in poison ivy.Originally Posted by Beano's Fourth Chin

Actually Beano you use it before you come in contact with the plant or if you suspect you did come in contact with it you can use it to remove the oil.... I use it occasionally....I'm very allergic and take preventive measures, since there's so much of it on my property.....Thanks for the partial credit though.........Originally Posted by Beano's Fourth Chin
Which is the main point of this thread... what do I wash it with? Pay attention.Originally Posted by achiro
Do you think that you might have gotten it into the calculator area?Originally Posted by Beano's Fourth Chin
Or just the band?
Or not sure?
Brand of watch?

Ha! An innuendo. Wow. Did not see that coming. No sir ree. Smacked me right out of the blue. I think that actually made the old ticker skip a beat I was so surprised.Originally Posted by mdklatt
I was just kidding about the calculator. Here's the watch:Originally Posted by BajaOklahoma
Right now it's sitting on the counter in the bathroom.
Yeah, this seems like a good bet. I know that alcohol can act as a solvent for some types of oil. I was just kinda wondering if anyone knew of a commercial product specifically for this purpose.Originally Posted by OUthunder
Instead, everyone is all over me with wisenheimer remarks and stuff.
What did I ever do to you people?
I think technically an innuendo would have been a lot more subtle.Originally Posted by Beano's Fourth Chin

Well, technically, it's the amps, not the volts that kill you, but I wouldn't go throwing a hairdryer in the bathtub all the same.Originally Posted by mdklatt
I vote for rubbing alcohol as well

I wouldn't soak it in alcohol. Maybe after you wash it with good old soap and water, a quick swipe with a cotton ball soak with alcohol but I'd be afraid the alcohol would damage the sexy chick magnet type band and you'd be stuck replacing it with some cheap plastic looking thing...oh wait.
1. You really want to keep this watch.
2. Do not wear it again until it has been cleaned and all signs of poison ivy on your arm has cleared up. The heat/sweat from the watch would make it difficult to decide if the watch still still poison ivy oil on it or if it didn't fully clear up on your arm.
3. The absolute best way to clean it is to take it to a watch place. You have 5 possible openings in which the cleaner of your choice will enter the watch. The more important the watch is to you, the more likely it will happen. They can open the case, remove the workings and clean it. I have no idea what it will cost.
4. Call the manufacturer's service department. They may be able to clean it very cheaply and do a better job.
5. Do not use rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide as your watch will not look as pretty as it does now. The posion ivy soap may work (I have never seen it before), but you would have to be very careful around the case. Q-tips, artist paint brushes (not to be used again). Plastic cleaners may work, though using it on the glass crystal is not good. Lint-free towel. But this is my least favorite of the options - I am afraid the watch may not work when you are done.
6. Don't work in areas with poison ivy while you are wearing anything you remotely want to keep.
