·Just a quick question if I may....
I recently (2 weeks ago) had my 844/5 serviced by an independent repair workshop in south london, including a new glass (not sure if it was proper sapphire crystal), and a general clean up, but this morning I found moisture on the inner surface of the glass.
Would this be simple condensation? I haven't opened the crown since I picked up the watch 2 weeks ago and it wasn't 'that' cold this morning. (Condensation might be moisture held in the air within the watch body condensing onto the glass if the glass was cold).
I wear the watch almost permanently and although I haven't been for a swim yet, I do washing up, wash my hands etc without removing the watch.
I've never (that I can remember) seen moisture inside the glass before (owned the watch from new).
I opened the crown and left the watch sitting on a warm radiator for a couple of hours this morning to hopefully expunge the moisture and let it out, but there's still some marks on the glass I can't polish off, which appear to be on the inner surface. Bit annoying given that it's new glass!!
I'm currently thinking to take the watch back to the repair shop and question whether or not he replaced the seal correctly - is that worth it?
I was hoping that the watch would be returned to me in better condition than it was in before - but if it's now not waterproof then, frankly, I will be EXTREMELY unhappy. I DO use the watch as a timepiece when swimming and snorkelling, and certainly in all weathers.
