That watch is way to small, it's a women's size, perhaps it's been wet before and shrunk?
I don't think the rice trick will work with this one as you can't get any 1939 vintage rice any more and modern rice only works on modern watches. I think you are screwed on this one, put in in the drawer put on your Speedmaster and go mow the lawn.
My 1939 Longines A-11 got wet in the rain this morning. It's not rated for 300 fathoms, so will the battery in it explode? I'm worried because it is the same temperature as my arm and stainless steel shouldn't be that warm.
Picture to memorialize it after it's gone.
It's just like 1940 all over again! Now, budget cuts must have been insane, how did the bomber navigator ever tell what time it was? Or was it really designed to be put into dark places where strip searches wouldn't find your spy watch????
It looks good! It's looks like it has always seen the light of day. Please make sure to change the battery every two years or when you see smoke coming out! Love the band, the whole watch looks absolutely perfect except the picture isn't black and white.
Seiji, here's your B&W version.
