Rubber straps attract dust - including the gen ones. Better quality versions tend to be less of a problem than the cheaper straps, but they all have the problem to a degree. I have a gen Panerai rubber strap as well as a Breitling OR strap and they both collect dust to some extent.

 

As I said in response to your other post, gen B&R straps aren't as expensive as some other gen straps, so are worth considering. Personally, though, I'd go for one of B&R's textile straps - they're very comfortable and quite inexpensive.

It's worth noting that the gen B&R nylon straps are designed to be worn over a diving suit or something - so a 'medium' comes up far too large for normal wrists!

 

Order a small one (or extra small if they do it?) if you have wrists under about 7.5" I think!

This question came up a long time ago and if I remember correctly someone said that Armor-All worked pretty well. Anybody else remember that one?

 

Also there are computer and monitor cleaners that advertise that they repel dust. I don't know how they work on rubber, but I use one called Statx on my monitor and TVs that does seem to help.
