One Hot, Humid Summer Day Here in ATL


Peter:

one hot, humid summer day, here in Atlanta, Georgia, I came inside (where it was particularly cold) and noticed condensation under the crystal (of a relatively common, inexpensive chrono . . . Clebar, two-register, "poor man's" Carrera). The condensation disappeared within a few minutes . . . has not happened since . . . should I worry?

Strange that this has happened only once, with many different chronos worn on many hot, humid summer days here in ATL?

Thanks,

Jeff

: It has a shinny case and pushers!
: Lots of work there , lots of parts.

: Guys DO Not let your watch set around if thay
: get ANY condensation under the cystal.
: Its better to leave it in water and give it to
: a watchmaker than to let it dry out.
: If you just washed your hands and you get a
: little dot of condinsation, You could open
: up the crown to set. and have the crown up
: to the 12:00 Pos. and have a light near it
: for heat.
