: and here's the story: As title [Washing Machines and Automatic
: Watches] suggests, had a mishap today...

: Do any of you fine learned gentlemen (or ladies) happen to know
: what damage is likely to have been caused by such a combination?
: If it helps it was a 1200 rpm spin cycle! There appears to be no
: sign of water ingress, which is useful, however the watch (eta
: 2824-2 movement) appears to run briefly and then stop
: completely. It was wound when it went in (and more so in the
: wash I would have thought!) so I have pulled out the winder to
: a. stop it running and b. allow any moisture that may have
: gotten in to the watch, out.

: Next question, anyone recommend a watch repairer in West Yorkshire?
: There is a chap who advertises himself as a "Tag
: Heuer" specialist on Manchester Road in Bradford, anyone
: know anything about him before I try?

: Thx in advance, Ant
: Let me just say that if the watch had survived this, it could
: have been the theme for an amazing ad campaign!!
