    Be careful however you clean it, I assume the stones are rhinestones and you do not want to get them wet :wideyed:

    No, you can do it, just start with the dry toothbrush first, then a barely wet Q-tip should also help :)

    Book, if you plan to sell your clock, suggest you let the buyer clean it.

    Ok - I cleaned it up a little bit. I used a soft watercolor paintbrush, and Q-tips and alcohol. It really needs to be done by a professional with the right tools.

    I'm thinking to start it at $99. What do you think?

    Thanks Anti!!!
    I described the feet as being black glass with marcasites. I hope that's right.

    They're pretty clunky feet though. Sort of out of proportion.
