    I've always assumed (perhaps wrongly) that as they were intended for use on skin the liquid on the wipes would contain a certain amount of moisturiser that would be absorbed by the skin but not, of course, by impermeable material.

    I don't use the wipes to moisturise, I use them to clean the equipment. The knobs are bead blasted and the fascia a black semi-matte anodised finish. The use of baby wipes was recommended to me by a service engineer who works with 'high end' audio gear. Skin cells shed from the fingers will build up with time on the controls that are used a lot, such as the input selector and the volume control.

    As for my few watches, they rarely get dirty so I may only use a duster or polishing cloth. The only watch which used to get dirty was my Rolex which I wear in 'parts foreign': driving across dusty deserts or trekking in hot sweaty countries, that sort of thing. But as it is waterproof, it is easy to clean

    I wasn't suggesting you did , I was just pointing out a 'babywipes' primary purpose (to wipe babies ).

    They're not things I routinely purchase in any case. I barely touch the controls on any of my gear anyway relying on the remotes, which now you come to mention it could do with a good 'wipe'

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Something more standard. Sold this one once on ebay but the buyer complained about the scratches on it and I refunded him. There's barely a mark on it and I don't know what he expected for forty quid.
