So I came across some posts on another forum about the "Ice Cube Test" to check for the amount of moisture in a watch, or to check for potential water ingress.
Some people say it's normal to have some light misting of the crystal, while others say there should absolutely be no misting at all.
I did some testing on my watch collection (none of them have been opened or serviced), and it seems that I could induce some condensation on all my watches. Ironically, my newly purchased Seamaster actually had the most misting.
However, with all the watches, there were no water droplets and the misting faded within 1-2 minutes.
How do I interpret the result of this test? Is there some sort of cut off for "too much moisture"?
