Who looks at a watch that closely when you're checking the time?
I do check new watches very closely... but in regular use you are absolutely right.

I don't know why all the fuss about a speck of dust.

Here's a pic of a movement I stripped yesterday, note the carcass of a little passenger in one of the main plate holes.

Now that beats dust any day 馃榿.

Jim - that reminds me of a video I saw years ago on another forum - someone was taking a video of their watch and a small insect crawled out of the center hole, walked around the dial, and the crawled back in. No idea how it had survived in there...
