··Omega Qualified WatchmakerI’m really surprised by this. I hope that I never find myself in the OP’s shoes, but If I was I would have accepted Archer’s offer in no time flat. Send something like this to Omega? No thanks.
If he wants to go another direction, that's fine, and I told him that in our exchanges. For me the issue is more about not bothering to get back to me, because I was holding off on taking some other work to fit this in...

·On a previous thread about diver watches I commented that if a watch sprung a seal and became water logged I thought that immediately opening up the watch and filling the inside with a moisture replacing oil might preserve the movement from corrosion till it could be taken to a watch maker or sent in for repair.
Does this sound like a workable idea?
I'm a bit surprised that only five days of being left with pool water inside could have done that much damage.

·If you were to wear a radium lumed watch and jump in a pool, it filling with water, would you run the risk of some radium mixing and leaving the watch?

·If you were to take a Radium watch that was your grandfathers that you just bought on eBay, and kept it in a shoebox and then dunked it in the water, I think the only way to fix that is to post pics of other peoples pets and food. At least that's what I learned from the forums.

·My 10" x 10" safe deposit box in the bank is on the bottom row, just an inch or so off the floor. I always kid them that it will be the first to flood although the chances are pretty slim, they usually don't route water lines near vaults, and we aren't in flood prone area. But I guess stranger things have happened.
