With regard to the winding sound when screwing in the crown, this is normal. While I'm not sure of the exact reason, I believe that pushing in the crown to lock it down does not move the stem into a neutral position.
I first noticed this on my SMP over 3 years ago and many other have identified the same behavior. I suspect that those who haven't heard it have not put their watch close to their ear while locking down the crown.
The dust on the face is another issue. You might want to discuss your options with your dealer. The question is how obvious is it and how much does it annoy you. After all, you have to live with it a long time.

: shortly after receiving it I noticed a piece
: of dust on the face of the watch and then
: today when screwing in the crown I noticed a
: winding sound. this obviously would occur in
: position #1, but never while screwing in the
: crown. Are these things to worry about? The
: watch was purchased from an official delaer
: and has the red dot on the back, not sure
: why I am having these problems. Thanks for
: any help
