Dear Louis,
I am a speedmaster owner too. I live in Taiwan, a country of rather high humidity the whole year through. This is a place with more humidity than elsewhere in the world, sometime even reach 80%, and very hot in the summer times. I am highly sweaty in the summer times like most people here.
It is very often for me to use the push pieces too. So far, for more than 3 year, I found no problems with my watch. My personal experience, sweat and humidity are OK for it. I went to my dealer with this question, he said it is OK in a steamy room, but shower with high water pressure on the watch directly is not encouraged (swimming too), and make sure to dry the watch with a dry fabrics after showers. And the most important thing is, never use the push buttons while the watch is dipping in the water, this sure will damage your watch.
Hope this could help. If any one have different opinion, please tell me.
Best Regards, Alan Wang
