Hold it in front of a car ac vent blowing on cold for about 5 mins. If you got moisture in it you will see the crystal start to fog

But I did not panic as I was in charge of a group of divers I was guiding over the reef,now they were far more important than any watch. On return to surface watch was fine and still fine today afraid you guys worry to much about your watches..

By chance Peter was this reef in Sharm el sheikh?

Peter, that's because yours was a five or four digit Rolex. Newer models are pretty much garbage if you take the stickers off of them. They need to remain in the safe. They just can't compete with the ruggedness of the older versions.

Most likely completely ruined the watch. Send it to me and I will dispose of it properly.

How true Rolex watches today get a very pampered life in general.

It shouldn’t be an issue with a healthy watch. The pushers on the YM-2 are not screw down and it still holds the normal oyster submersion of 330ft.
