elprimerozen Posted January 13, 2007 Report Posted January 13, 2007 I have put inthe freezer a casio quartz that i have and this watch looks like a submariner rep....so lets see the first pics out of the freeze and then more pics to see the result!I dont know yet the results we will see together!
elprimerozen Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Posted January 13, 2007 And here is the result of the frozen Casio with the looks af a sub!!!What do you think?Is it working now or not?
elprimerozen Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Posted January 13, 2007 Looks stopped to me ... Yes the watch died! but the crystal and everything came out pefect!The litle poor casio stoped working!I hoped you enjoyed this!
elprimerozen Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Posted January 13, 2007 The project was to stay in ice only for 24hours...but i forgot the watch in the freeze for over 15 days....sorry about that
elprimerozen Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Posted January 13, 2007 OOOhhhh [censored]!!! The water proof casios have a good reputation for water ressistance...But after 2 hours out of the ice see for your self the major humidity problem!!!
HighDef Posted January 13, 2007 Report Posted January 13, 2007 Open the case back and let the moisture escape. It might work again. Now,,,let us try your gen and see what happen
elprimerozen Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Posted January 13, 2007 Open the case back and let the moisture escape. It might work again. Now,,,let us try your gen and see what happen In the future i will try this with a rep sub with asian 21j movmt..and i will post it here!!!And if is still working i will make it a gift!!
chris5264 Posted January 13, 2007 Report Posted January 13, 2007 But after 2 hours out of the ice see for your self the major humidity problem!!! Perhaps it needs to go in the oven for a few hours to dry out? How about 450 for two hours?
ryyannon Posted January 13, 2007 Report Posted January 13, 2007 On RWG, that's called 'doing a Nanuq'. :-) (At least that's what I call it.)
marrickvilleboy Posted January 13, 2007 Report Posted January 13, 2007 well....let me think.....if you put it in the freezer, the automatic movement will stop because the oil will feeze up and thus the gears won't work. There are different types of watch oils - one which is suppose to be for cooler conditions, but not freezing. theres not point in trying, the watch will definitley stop.

I don't see any reason why a waterproof rep wouldn't re-start with a shake once it was thawed out. Why all that condensation? That seems very odd to me. Since water expands (unlike most everything else) when frozen, I am wondering if the freezing water forced itself into the case somehow. In any event, now ya got me curious. Bill

flavor flav Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 i'm sure it will run again... the oil is too thick now and there is water inside. probably ice too. thaw it out with the caseback removed and see if it will fire up!
zing Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) The reason the water can get in is probably due to the fact unlike water, when the metal and the rubber get cold they contract. Since they will also heat up slower then the water it gets in. Why are you doing this its just ruining things on purpose? Edited January 15, 2007 by zing
Chicken Manny Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 If you were cool like Nanuq you would put it on a gas stove.
longshot Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 a couple years ago on the seiko forum one of the members took a monster (200m wr) and froze it into a solid block of ice overnight. then took it out and put it in a pan of water and melted the ice and brought it to a full boil it was running fine when he fished it out of the boiling water
Pugwash Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 theres not point in trying, the watch will definitley stop. See the rep Omega thread ...
