Re: condensation in seamaster
In Response To: Re: condensation in seamaster ()

Actually I am not in Europe but in Southern Mass.
And spending $300 to replace the seals seems very high.
The question is: are there any good service alternatives in the US?
thank you

: You need to get that watch serviced SOON by
: somebody who has been profesionally trained
: in Omega watch repair. Since you're in
: Europe, Omega itself is probably the best
: choice, although georges z may have some
: more informed advice on particular repair
: services he knows. Bottom line, you got
: water in the watch somehow, and you need to
: have it serviced SOON to get it dried out
: and resealed. If you have children in the
: house, you should give them a stern lecture
: about unscrewing the parts on daddy's watch.
: There is NO need to uscrew the helium valve
: EVER even if you go skindiving, UNLESS you
: are diving in SAT conditions and staying
: deep (like 500 feet) for days at a time.
