Totally agree with swils8610 : Warm soapy water and a tooth brush, then rinse under cold water, rotating the bezel while running water over it - works every time for me :)

Try this! You may want to leave it soak in the warm water for five or ten minutes.

Silicon spray probably wouldn't hurt it, but cleaning is preferred.
