If you can, take the bracelet off the watch, leave it on a warm soapy water long enough for the gunk to soften enough and then with a tooth brush give it a good clean between the links.

There is a special metal bracelet cleaning solution available ...me, I just went to the shed and got out the brake cleaner spray . That, a bit of patience, a toothpick and a lint free cloth will do wonders

Don't forget to take the watch off the strap first .
