Re: Vapor inside my watch
In Response To: Vapor inside my watch ()

Depends on the watch, what kind is it?

Pete J

: 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
