My Pam104 came this morning from Ryan at Intime who was great to deal with by the way.
The watch was perfect so on the wrist it went but a few hours later I noticed what looked like little condensation bubbles underneath the bubble over the date.
These little bubbles were not there when the watch came so I am asking for any thoughts as to how they got there and if they will go away on there own.

Thanks for for any advice you can give.

I've had this happen a couple of times, the watch might have been very cold during transport, when you get it home and it heats up condensation might form. I fixed it by removing the caseback and putting the watch upside down in bag of rice, on top of the rice, closing the bag and let i sit for a day or two. Then greased all rubber seals with silicon grease and it's been fine since.

Thanks for your replies. Not a great picture but you will be able to see the condensation bubble underneath the date bubble.


If I shake the watch it sometimes breaks into four smaller bubbles but nearly always comes back to one bubble.
If I swirl the watch around the condensation bubble rolls around the circle of the date bubble.
