Dust inside the crystal

I just bought a gorgeous Seamaster in titanium, three months old. The past owner had a reputable jeweler remove the back to verify the #1120 caliber movement. The issue is that I noticed a small speck of dust on the inside of the crystal. Is it worth pulling the watch apart to remove that speck of dust? It has also been suggested to me that the seals are in need of replacement and may be the cause of the dust? I feel that the dust was from the breif inspection of the movement and not as a result of a poor seal. Should I spend the money to remove the speck of dust? Is it possible that the seals allowed this dust through on such a young (3 mos old) watch? Please comment.
