I agree that this is a waste of bandwidth -- without details. What breed of dog. When was its last veterinary teeth cleaning, etc.

Always cover your watches in a layer of clear nail polish to avoid problems like this.

Definitely want a FULL overhaul - replacement of case, movement, dial, hands. Need it pressure tested at the bottom of the Mariana Trench for 500 years minimum. Otherwise the dog breath will corrode it all

It was a Shih Tzu with an eye infection. Breath was beefy, teeth slightly yellow. The Speedmaster is now losing 1 second a day. My wrists get sweaty when I type too fast

The same thing happened to me! This dog just walked up and started breathing on my Seamaster. This is headed out for a service right away.

those watches are meant to be used in space. Dogs don't live up there. It is totally unchartered area. My blessing. Good luck to you.

Although if you remember, a wise squirrel once said that a good laugh is never a waste of bandwidth.

I well remember the “Should I wear my Speedmaster while eating Raclette “ thread…

If the watch begins to gain or lose time, it likely has rabies. I wouldn’t wear it.

It is a husky watch. It will likely be okay.

If you are asking that, you probably don't have a dog...

Canine watch durability tester. He looks sweet and innocent, but he’s actually the Terminator.
