    No way. As long as water enters the inside of the watch, the movement is prone to aging and rusting.

    It must be taken to the after-sales service for maintenance.

    If left unchecked, the movement parts can be fatally damaged.

    What kind of brain is this soaking a Rolex in hot water?

    Even if you're bringing a dive model. The ghost king 10,000m can't stand the hot water.

    It's basic common sense.

Do not bake the watch directly near the heat, so as not to deform the glass by heating. Because although there is no moisture on the dial, there may still be water in the movement, and the movement will rust and cause damage to the movement after a long time.

    If the watch gets into the water, it can't blow it out. Or wait for a long time to wear it, and then run out naturally.

    To remove water vapor in a short time, only to clean up after disassembly, other physical methods, no way.

    After all, the watch is actually very well sealed, it is not easy to enter the water, and it is even more difficult to get out of the water, because there is no pressure difference, and it will not run out easily.

    The first method: baking with an incandescent lamp.

    Wrap the watch with several layers of paper towels, then place it at 15 cm of a 40-watt incandescent lamp, and bake for 5 minutes, and the water vapor in the watch will be evaporated. Remember not to bake for too long, and for watches with leather straps, the strap should be removed first.

    The second method: put it together with the desiccant.

    The water absorption effect of desiccant is much better than that of rice, put the watch and desiccant together, wrap it in plastic wrap, wait for 24 hours, and it will not cause dust pollution.

    The third method: put it in rice.

    Rice has a good water absorption effect, and every family has rice, and it is easy to use. After 24 hours of placing the watch in the rice, most of the water is absorbed. Finally, take out the watch and gently wipe off the rice dust.

    Hello, glad to answer for you!

    Generally speaking, there are only three places where water can enter the watch movement: the handle (handle), the watch mask and the back cover. The waterproof device is also installed in these three places: add a rubber ring to the shank, add a rubber ring on the threaded edge of the back cover of the sealing ring, shank and other parts, and make the surface tight.

    Water and fog into the watch has the greatest impact on the watch movement, and it should be dealt with in time to prolong the service life of the watch. If not treated in time, the residual moisture will easily cause the internal movement to oxidize and rust, resulting in inaccurate watch timekeeping and watch failure.

    If the watch is seriously flooded, please send it to the repair center immediately for treatment, otherwise it will cause many metal parts inside the movement to oxidize and rust due to water vapor, causing greater damage.

    If there is only a small amount of mist, it is recommended to pull out the watch handle and put the desiccant around the watch handle, which will make the water vapor volatilize faster and the fog dissipate faster or use a 40w bulb to bake 15cm away from the watch for about 30 minutes, and the watch needs to be wrapped in a thin cloth. If there is too much water vapor in the meter, it is recommended to send it to the after-sales service or a reputable maintenance point within 72 hours.

    Try to avoid letting running water touch the handle when washing your hands. Avoid wearing a waterproof watch above 100 meters when taking a bath or rinsing it with a faucet, as the watch may be flooded due to uneven water pressure on the watch. It is also important to avoid wearing the watch in the bathroom or sauna, as water vapor can affect the internal operation of the watch or damage the waterproof performance of the watch due to thermal expansion and contraction.

    When water enters the watch, when it encounters high temperatures, it forms water vapor, and the water vapor goes up, which is why it floats on the glass and is not attached to it.

    If you need to clean it, you can only disassemble the watch and blow it clean inside and out with a heat gun, and you have to blow it for a while, because the air contains a certain amount of moisture.

    If you don't take it apart for heating, the water droplets will disperse and the temperature will come back and come back. Because the water droplets present in the phone cannot be discharged from the phone.

    This is due to the watch's poor water resistance.

    Don't go for repair, deceive, as soon as the weather is cold and hot, there will be fog and water droplets, which is a normal phenomenon. It's not water that enters, the seal is not good, and if the seal is not good, there will be no fog, but water. In the summer, if you take your watch to dry it on your hands, there will be fog immediately when you enter the cold air-conditioned room.

    Improper readjustment method 1 of the water inlet of the watch, pull the head and put it in the rice tank.

    Don't do that, everybody. Rice does absorb moisture. However, if dust enters the case, it will affect the operation of the movement and the movement time, and cause irreparable damage to the watch.

    2. Dry with a hair dryer or high-temperature bulb.

    This is not advisable. The oil inside the movement is volatile in a high-temperature environment, which affects the lubrication of the wheel train.

    The above methods seem reasonable and practical, but none of these methods can completely remove the moisture and moisture in the watch. It can even cause damage to the watch again.

    So what should you do if the watch gets water? There is only one way: go to a regular watch repair center or after-sales service as soon as possible.

    The watch has fog, use the hot air of the hair dryer to remove the fog of the watch, this method is not recommended, the first hair dryer will generate a magnetic field, which may have an impact on your watch, and the second is that the watch is foggy, in fact, the wind cannot blow in, it is through heating to vaporize the water molecules, and the fog disappears. If the temperature is too high, it will affect the timing and performance of the watch, and the hair dryer is not good at controlling the temperature. So it is not recommended to use a hair dryer to remove the fog from the watch.

    I recommend to you a company I have been to after-sales, on the 6th floor of Block W3 of Wangfujing Oriental Plaza, the service attitude is very good, you can go over to see.

    There is fog in the watch, which means that there is moisture in the watch. In general, although the watch is hermetically sealed, there are very small pores in the joints of the case, especially in used watches.

    When washing hands or washing clothes or on rainy days, water can enter through these pores, especially the hot steam in the kitchen, which is more likely to soak into the case. In addition, the temperature is high and the humidity is high in summer, so if the watch is suddenly cold, the air containing more moisture in the watch will condense into mist or water droplets, which will stick to the watch glass.

    If water enters the watch, please send it to the repair center immediately for treatment, otherwise it will cause many metal parts inside the movement to oxidize and rust due to water vapor, causing greater damage.

    First, when the watch is in water and fog, the simplest way is to wear the watch on the wrist backwards, that is, let the watch mask reflect inwards and the bottom case of the watch face outward. After a few hours, you will notice that there is less and less moisture inside the watch.

    Second, prepare a little paper towel or moisture-absorbing flannel, wrap the watch tightly, place it on a 40-watt light bulb about 5 cm, and bake it for about half an hour. Later, you will notice that the moisture in the movement gradually disappears.

    Thirdly, it can also be used to remove fog vapor by basking in the sun. First turn the back cover of the watch open, then wrap the watch completely with a paper towel or moisture-absorbing flannel, and take it to the sun to bask in the sun for most of the sound, which can also remove the moisture in the movement. If the watch is severely flooded, it can be left for a longer time.

    Water ingress into the watch is a common fault of the watch, and it is also a very harmful failure.

    Water ingress of the watch may cause rust on the internal movement parts of the watch, although the watch parts are now treated with anti-rust, but some tiny parts are still easy to rust, so it is better to repair the watch as soon as possible once the watch is flooded.

    If other liquids are introduced, such as seawater, which are more corrosive, then the corrosion will also be faster.
