Immediate Attention Serious Trouble


Recommended Posts

Let it air dry. U can place it in a drawer with a can of dessicant to help. It should run again once it's dry. You should have it serviced since the oils have probably been stripped: u don't drive your car without any oil do you?

Try this....get a bag or two of silica gel ( the small bags that come in shoe boxes), pull the crown all the way out as you've done and place the watch in a plastic baggie with the silica gel bags. Seal the baggie and let the watch sit for the better part of a day. Best if you place the watch in a warm spot (sunlight)

I've done this before and it solved the problem.

Best of luck!

My UPO is foggy now.. Had a ski crash yesterday and my UPO ate some snow. It literally scratched down an iceway and is now foggy on the crystal inside.

I'm now gonna try the towel-radiator way with pulled crown and HEV cause I neither have access to silica gel nor to a caseback opener at the moment. Will tell how it works!

Cheers

[edit] seems like it worked perfect. It still has minus degrees out there and no fog inside my UPO anymore ;)
