Vapor inside my watch

Last Friday, I stepped out of my warm and dry house into cool and rainy weather conditions. (at least 10�C temperature, and over 90% humidity difference) . Suddenly, I noticed some extremely fine vapor developing from inside my watch. After wiping/rubbing the glass with no more than 5 strokes with my thumb, the vapor disappeared. The vapor showed up again twice within the next half hour. I repeated wiping/rubbing the glass with a few strokes until the vapor disappeared completely. The vapor hasn't shown up since.
Do you think that it's advisable for me to have my watch checked anyway, or should I regard the vapor development inside my watch as a unique freak occurence, and forget about it?
Has anyone else ever experienced this phenomenon?
How dangerous is it for a watch, to take it off and place it in the humidity and warmth of a bathroom during a shower?

Thank you,

Common man
