Water In Holeshot?

[fretburner79]

Returned the watch to the shop that did the replacement and asked for the owner. He informed me that watches are supposed to be pressure tested before they leave. He then went on to apologize for the 84 year old technician who did the battery swap.
Long story short, he's going to dry it out, put another seal in and make it right.

I should have it back in a couple days. I appreciate everyone's help and feedback.

Great solution. At least you learned something from it. Now go get a timex from wal mart for swimming!

that is great but you should also be concerned about if any damage has already been done to the movement

He said water in a watch won't hurt it, it's water left in a watch.

He said he would dry it out good.

Corrosion is always a concern. Since it's a quartz watch it could short out, but if that was going to happen it probably would have already.
