Just know that some of the cheaper options -- while they look aesthetically pleasing -- can sometimes feel a bit... thin. By that, I mean so lightweight so as to feel cheap and a little tinny. Usually it's the result of hollow endlinks or mid-links on the bracelets, thinner steel, etc. It can be a bit underwhelming in the hand. IMHO, a little heft to a watch isn't entirely a bad thing. Even a 36mm watch can have an appropriately substantial feel to it. At least for bracelets, you can somewhat reduce the tinny feel by using some bike chain lube (stay with me here).

When cleaning my watches, I would pop off the bracelets and run them in an ultrasonic using some Dawn dish liquid mixed into the water, then using an infant-soft toothbrush to carefully clean the cases. After I thoroughly dried the bracelets, I would pop them into a ziplock bag with some Rock-N-Roll Extreme bike chain lube (the blue stuff) and work it into the bracelet for a couple minutes, then rinse under warm water and use some paper towel to dry and articulate the bracelet until it was dry and clean on the outside. Works like a treat.
