Water In Holeshot?

So once the seal us broken, it can never be submerged again?

Replace the seal.

It can be, it just needs to have a new seal properly installed. I'd then have it pressure tested.

Anyone know where I can get a seal? Oakley won't send me one.

Did they tell you to send the watch in or just say they don't have them anymore?

Might get a new seal from a watch repair shop

 

[fretburner79]

They said to send it in. There usual response.

 

[bad fishy]

Yeah, I hate that. I'm sure it's just so they can honor warranties. Like in this situation, if they did the battery swap and it leaked they would warranty it.

Any good shop will most likely have one that fits.

Nope, just that any service that involved opening the caseback or working on crown or pushers needs to have the seals replaced and/or refitted and pressure tested to offer waterproofness. The factory guarantee it ex-factory but not once someone else has worked on it.

And you can bet someone just changing a battery didn't pay much attention to seals.

As a collector of vintage watches, I have long learned to just assume that no watch is anything more than showerproof and handle them accordingly.

You just have to replace the seal.
