Will removing the caseback, mag coverand leting it air out be of help? Perhaps opeping it up and then heating up the watch to 125 degress in an oven? Used to do this with electronic devices and it worked rather well.
Being an heirloom I would get it serviced and pressure tested. New crystal, pushers, crown/tube . I wouldn't be too bothered about originality, I would rather it lasted another 50 years. I live in a humid area and just got an Ed White and 145.012-67 fully serviced for the same reason you had, condensation on the inside of the crystal.
No idea about servicing in Baltimore but a quick google search turned up this.

Put it in the oven at 125 degrees, that's a half-baked idea
Yeah, I would prefer someone decent!!
Am I crazy to think this watch, even though it's 45 years old, could be a daily wear?
Edit: This story seems to be a couple of years old, somehow it appears in my FB feed and I got excited reading it
I really wouldn't put a speedmaster in an oven, just take it back to the watchmaker tell him what happened and get him to check it out.
Yes, on second thought I suppose 125 degrees is not wonderful for the watch's oils.
