Seamaster Conks when wet

Good afternoon-

Since getting my Seasmaster chrono (used) about a year ago, I have been careful to remove it before shower, pool, etc.

However, this past week in Florida I did frolic with the kiddies in a pool with the watch on. Right after it developed what looked like condensation on the inside of the crystal and staid that way for about two days. I did not wear the watch for 24 hours- in which time it lost 15 minutes.

The watch eventually cleared and has not lost significant time in the last few days.

Any idea what happened and why? Should I ship the watch off to have the seals checked?

Thank you in advance for any and all help!
