Good morning, A bit cold this morning , about 1° celsius and this happened: Obviously, condensation occurred and disappeared in a few seconds , and my question for you is " how worried should i be?" Send the watch to be serviced immediately? Thank you
Hello, I would say yes as you have humidity in the case which could trigger any degradation of the parts Let's wait until we know what @Archer think about that
Put the watch into a tight plastic box together with rice (unboiled of course) for a first aid action - the rice will absorb any humidity and prevent the worst case... It would enhance the process if you screw the back a bit lose... just my 2c
Rice can be dusty - although I often see it recommended on forums, I would not use it personally. That's enough condensation I would get the watch looked at.
Thanks . It went very quick so i am more worried about previous damage. I am not going to take it out until i get it serviced. Thank you
Wouldn't it be good to take the back off and let the moisture out? If you have the tools. The watch should still be sent to get serviced of course, but it would stop further damage for now.
@Hattrick I never experienced anything like this in the time I owned the watch. If you can't take the back off, at least unscrew the crown overnight.
I left the speedmaster with Simon at STS today for servicing. No water damage or anything like that. The crown and pushers will be replaced. Thank you
