Ultrasonic Baths and TB1's

[Esper]

Hi. A friend showed me his ultrasonic bath the other day and wondered if it would be safe to use on a TB1?

This is the link here: https://smile.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B07JQZBQMV/.

Whilst it says it cleans watches, I wanted to check on here first as to what people thought of these devices, what experiences they've had and what brands of bath they'd recommend for a TB1.

Thanks

No. Cavitation.

So, it harms the watch by changing the internal pressure, correct? -Sorry, it's not a term I'm familar with.

What would be the best way to give a TB1 a deep clean?

Warm water, mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush.

Detach the bracelet from the case, and drop the bracelet in the ultrasonic with a drop of dish wash liquid to break surface tension.

For the case, you would need to open the case back, remove the movement, and then drop the empty case in the ultrasonic as per the bracelet. Not for the beginner though. Would need to re-lube the case back gasket b4 putting back together. DIY at your own risk as always.
