    Dust on watch

    So I can see some dust build up in between where my strap connects to the lugs on the case.

    How do you guys clean this? Do I have to take off the strap each time?

    Does anyone recommend using the dust spray used for computer keyboards?

    Thanks!

    Yes, this has always been a massive problem for watch owners as both the strap makers and the watch manufacturers always deny responsibility on this, i personally have emailed managing directors and watch designers to try and get a solution to this problem but as yet to no avail, my next action will be approaching the royal courts of justice and have the matter recognised and legally addressed, i've contacted president obama and the leader of britain, john terry and await further direction from both, the decision will probably be headline news and reuters are on standby. For now i would like everyone to keep calm, and definately don't panic, patience is the key. We will fight them on the beaches if we have to, and never surrender, it's one small step for a man but one giant leap for mankind, god bless us all.

    Dust? Really??

    If it bothers you that much, take a little strip of cloth and run it through there like floss.

    I don't worry about it until it qualifies as "gunk". Then I give it a good scrubbing.

    I dig it out VERY carefully with my fingernail, then I eat the remains to discard.

    Are we talking about gunk, smegma, or boggers? And with that, I better stop before the Mods get irate!
