I want to clean the band. How do I do this - Navy Seal Luminox Watch

Amazon, Google.

Hello, here is an article with tips to clean watch bands, and according to several of the comments, the process was successful on several Gucci and Michael Kors watches as well.

Probably don't need special order band. Most people buy band that is same width. Bands have a collapsible post on each side where they attach to the watch, you just pick a band that fits the width. To change a watch band you have to use something like a razor blade (single edge common to cleaning) to wedge between the metal frame of the watch and the band, then try to get some friction on the post and push it away from the watch and toward the middle of band such that you collapse the post and get it out of one hole that the post is in (2 holes 1 on each side of post) so you can tilt the post out. A new band usually has 2 posts included since it is common to bend the old posts getting them out and hard to just buy those. Put the post in the band, put one end of post into a hole, then tilt and compress with the razor to push post into position, then slide the razor out which allows it to go in the second hole. Now band stays attached.

it cannot clean anymore, you had to replace it with a new band.

Polyurethane Band
Polyurethane Bands, which are made of soft plastic, may turn hard after 2-3 year's use. Colour fading can also be seen.
If bands are kept wet and in highly humid locations or are exposed to sunlight for a long time, the deterioration of the bands may be accelerated in a relatively short period and some cracks may appear on the band surface. (This is called 'hydrolytic cleavage of polyurethane')
Kindly pay attention to the condition of polyurethane bands, which are often worn in such occasions as marine sports/outdoor activities

• We recommend immediate exchange when your polyurethane band loses elasticity or develops cracks.
• Semi-transparent/white/fair coloured polyurethane band may turn a different colour due to light/stain ( or sometimes may absorb colours from other materials). In addition, polyurethane bands have many small holes on the surface, which easily catch and hold stains/other different colour material. Thus it is rather tough to entirely clean polyurethane bands. Kindly replace current polyurethane band with a new one when you find extreme discolouration.
• There exist some sorts of stains (like oil/cosmetics), which cannot be removed off. Smoking cigarette/long time use may turn the colour yellowish.

CAUTION!
Do not use solvent/chemicals (benzene/thinner/breach) for band/bracelet cleaning!

Gluing objects together can be difficult as the area of contact needs to be large and the applied forces must be such that they do not tend to peel the surfaced off each other.

Try an impact adhesive (a suitable cleaner is available).

Find a good jewelry cleaner where you can soak jewelry (rings, earings) and let only the band soak. Use a soft or medium toothbrush to finish with the band, then dip the toothbrush in the cleaner to clean the rest.

If your watch band have UV sensitive pigmentation in it, there is nothing you can do, but buy the new band.
Find your nearest jeweller and ask to clean watch band in ultrasonic cleaner for 1 hour. If this kind of cleaning doesn't help, that means your watch band is UV sensitive and is and will be discolouring more and more by the time.
Alternatively you can try to clean it with the lighter fluid (ZIPPO). Soak a soft cloth in to lighter fluid and clean the band. Start with a small area inside band to make sure the fluid is not reacting as dissolver, as some resins react quite vigorously and tend to transform into chewing gum sort of state.
And again- if this cleaning doesn't help, the band is UV sensitive and discolouring is taking place.
That discolouring is happening becouse some of the colour pigments used in resin manufacture are sensitive to ultraviolet light and when exposed to sunlight or daylight, they react in a chemical
way, changing molecular structure, wich we see as the colour change.This process can not be reversed and this is why the band can not be cleaned.
Do not forget to rate please.

If you can take the band off the watch do it, if you can't that's ok you just have to be a little more careful. I take a 1/2 cup of HOT water, 1/4 cup of Mr. Clean, and 1/4 cup of ammonia. Hook you watch on a cup so it isn't able to slip into the cup, and let it sit for about 10 min. Take a tooth brush and spread open the links and brush away! Make sure after you brush it that you rinse off REALLY good because if you don't you will find that dust and whatever will stick to the band becuse it will be sticky because of the cleaner. If you find you have anymore problem please feel free to ask. I have been cleaning jewelry , watchbands, and watch cases likr this for twenty years , it works well.
