In Response To: Re: moisture ()

Thanks Derek:

I might try your suggestion using a few of those silica packs that come with optical and computer components. I think they might help suck out the moisture withouth the danger of the rice dust.

Thanks again.

: No. Water/moisture will NOT escape through that
: valve. You need to take it to a watch repair
: shop to be properly dried out.

: As a quick alternative, take a small glass jar
: and fill half way with dry uncooked rice.
: Open the crown and place the watch crown-up
: on top of the rice and close the jar. This
: should help draw the moisture out. Be
: careful to not get dust from the rice into
: the open crown.
