Re: water damage

In Response To: water damage ()

: My 7 year old son loosened the crown on my
: quartz seamaster and I went swimming without
: realizing. I noticed that the watch wasn't
: running shortly thereafter and there was
: some condensation under the crystal. Is my
: watch toast or is there hope of repair?

Get it to a watchmaker ASAP. The water can cause some parts of the movement to rust if it isn't addressed quickly. If this just happened, the watch should be repairable. If it happened a few months ago, then you might end up needing a new movement.

Good luck,
John
