·This happened roughly 3 weeks ago but it’s been on my mind ever since so I figured I would ask the folks here for some direction. One morning I took my white Seamaster 300m (only 2 months old) out of its red Omega travel case. A very short while after putting it in my wrist I noticed a very small drop of water on the crystal that I wiped off. What’s bothering me is how that drop of water got there in the short time between taking out of its case and putting it on my wrist (or was it there for longer than that) when it was not near any water source.
Now I know water droplets on the INSIDE of the crystal is bad but what about the outside? I went ahead and did a DIY condensation test. Obviously not as controlled and precise as one that a watchmaker would do but I still got the watch pretty warm and placed a drop from an ice cube on the crystal, left if there for 30 seconds or a minute and wiped it off. No trace of condensation on the underside was found.
The watch has also kept good accuracy and I haven’t noticed this random drop appear again ever since. Don’t get me wrong… if I was walking from my driveway to the door and it was lightly raining outside I wouldn’t even be posting about this, but for a random drop of water to appear on the crystal after removing it from my traveling case to putting it on my wrist (indoors) is kind of odd.
Is there anything else I can do to ensure all is well? Main concern is that there’s still something going on with the watch that might cause issues in the future like rust. Appreciate any direction on this
