The green putty found on virtually every watchmaker's bench. Rodico lifts fingerprints, dust and stains from dials and movements, clears excess oil from jewels, and picks up the tiny screws and pivots that fingers cannot. A single bar lasts a long time, kneaded fresh for each use.

Why selected

The cheapest object in the Selection and one of the most used. Rodico is the quiet professional standard for keeping movements clean, and the green 6033 bar is the one watchmakers actually reach for.
