Yes, I know it's a stupid question, but I have to know. How do you sterilize a watch (or three) that has been subjected to dead rat funk for a week?
I took my kids on vacation last week and, because I procrastinate terribly and I don't have a safe installed in my new house yet, I put a bunch of my watches in the safest place I could think of -- under the substrate in my son's python enclosure. I was in a hurry and it seemed like a good idea at the time.
My wife came out to join me two days later and she fed the python a live rat before she left. Except she did not know the python wasn't hungry. Rather than eat the rat, the snake killed it and left it to decompose, which it did, right on top of my Daytona, Ex II and TT Blue Sub. I found the dead, gooey rat there this morning. I threw it away, and now I have to figure out a way to clean the watches.
Bleach comes to mind, but that could be too harsh. Anti-bacterial soap could be too mild. Any ideas? Thanks.
Oh and you won't dive into the reactor, just use a fishing line or whatever
