Bergeon Rodico 6033 – The Watchmaker's "Magic" Cleaning Putty

The industry-standard Swiss cleaning gum for immaculate results.

The Bergeon Rodico 6033 (famously known as "The Green Putty") is a legend in watchmaking workshops worldwide. Neither corrosive nor abrasive, this unique cleaning compound is the absolute ally for ensuring the perfect cleanliness of movements, dials, and tiny components during repairs or servicing.

Why is Rodico Essential?

This product is not just a simple eraser; it is a versatile multi-tool that solves some of the most frustrating problems in watchmaking:

1. Precision Cleaning: It instantly absorbs excess oil, greasy fingerprints, and micro-dust lodged in jewels or on pivots.

2. Dial Protection: It is one of the only safe methods to lift a speck of dust or a smudge from a dial or watch hands without the risk of scratching them (unlike a cloth or tweezers).

3. Easy Handling: Use Rodico to pick up and position small components (screws, springs) in hard-to-reach places where tweezers might scratch or magnetize the part.

The Watchmaker's Tip

"Don't throw your Rodico away as soon as it looks a bit dirty. Knead the putty to trap impurities deep inside and reveal a clean surface again. However, for the final touch-up on a pristine dial, always use a fresh piece of Rodico to avoid any risk of grease transfer."
