My Blancpain's sailcloth strap has been great so far, but it has gotten a little grimy. I've never exposed it to anything harsh or nothing the watch can't handle—never too hot nor too cold, and when I take it in water, I rinse it off after. The grime is annoying, and I want it cleaned. How might that be done?

Here's a photo. Mint strap tail on the left, my more grimy one on the right.

I kindly ask you to spare me any "if you can't handle wear and tear"…

TL;DR –> Strap was good, a few months later broke down despite non-aggressive use. Now I only wear my Blancpain on the OEM product because this is not it,

Essentially, buy this if you must. But if you're trying to avoid the OEM toll of the cost of a Blancpain strap, don't, unless it really is too much of an expense. In any case, Artem's product isn't all that good, at the time of review. Maybe things have changed since, but I'm not experimenting again. The review below is semi-edited. My…

Artem Strap Review: 2 months in…largely avoid.

So, Sinn has unveiled some new things and I wanted to capture them all in a comprehensive thread. These are the U series U15, U16, U18—all made from submarine steel that has actually served/traveled through the sea. Also, a new T50 Gold-bronze with blue dial now.

New Sinn Releases

Wow, an unexpected release here! I won't say I'm a Moser lover or hater; pretty indifferent. But I can't deny that this is a pretty cool function and it's been executed in a neat way.
