SERIOUS TROUBLE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

[piratedzeus]

watch fell in water, little bit of fog on crystal on the inside what to do.....

 

[piratedzeus]

Openend HE valve and crown as max as i could and now i am heating it up, with caution of course, RIGHT?

 

[dtan888]

That is what i know.. put it out in the sun to dry ..

 

[Anubis]

dude that sux...depending on what kind of water it fell (dirty or not) you might be okay. It wasn't waterproofed? is it a PO?
If after it's dried there's residue, you might have to chat with vaccum.
Sorry man

 

[piratedzeus]

It was a cheap SMP, it was very clear water but might contain minerals.... well that would be just bad luck then

 

[crick]

yeah, it would mean you would have to open her up, clean/ dry it out, lube the gasket and reseal it.

i dont think it costs that much?

 

[piratedzeus]

seems like there is white stuff remaining on the crystal inside... watch is very hot atm

 

[piratedzeus]

little water drops on the crystal inside

 

[piratedzeus]

should i keep the watch little bit hot for the next xxxx hours orwhat

Toss in a couple ferns and a salamander and you have a nice terrarium.

If you have the means of getting the back off just let it dry crystal down.

Anubis is right. If this is a very important watch to you I would dry it out real good and ship it to vaccum or joe. One of them can fix you up.

try pulling the case back off use a wad of duct tape if you dont have anything to remove it. leave it cover with something to keep dust out but let air in. You want to water to have an easy escape route so you dont get any rusting.

 

[piratedzeus]

then I have no single watch left

 

[supermanx]

if you pull the case back off and dont see actual droplets of water you'll be ok. but you have water issues that need to be addressed by someone (probably from the hev)

 

[ArleighBurke]

water

The word blowtorch keeps coming to mind. Does that mean anything to you?

 

[piratedzeus]

burn the bezel yeah

 

[ArleighBurke]

water

Just go easy on the heat.

 

[SD4K]

open it and clean it carefully with some tissues. then leave it open to dry. you could place also some silicone-pearls next to it - they'll suck the wet out of it! good luck!

 

[piratedzeus]

watch is open, was my first time.... and under streessss I AM GOOD
