·Hi everyone,
I have a 1996 Speedmaster Professional with 861 movement. I bought it nealry 18 months ago and it was meant to have been serviced. I wear it every day because i love it and I was doing some plumbing work and some water fell on me about 250 ml or enough water to fill in a S-pipe. We are not talking about a lot of water and I certainly did not immerse the watch in any water. I was working in a damp environment and I noticed that my speedmaster had begun to fog up and would continue to fog up over the next couple of days. I put the watch in a bed of rice face down and I opened the crown. I decided to open the case back and remove the dial.
So now I have a dial attached to the movement (which is a work of art and it is a pity that it is covered) and the case with the crystal intact.
The pushers have been removed but not the springs in the pushers nor the part that holds them in place. I don't want to remove too many things.
Just for peace of mind where do I find a diagram or video instruction of what seals should be with the watch? I am thinking the moisture must have come in from the pushers. I can't seem to find any seals on the pushers but then again I am not sure where the seals should be located.
The seal on the caseback seems OK.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading the post.
