Put it in a bowl of dry white rice, the rice will suck out as much moisture as it can it will help untill tomorrow.

yes it will rust and that is the concern.

Seals must have been broken otherwise moisture does not get in easily even with crown open.

open the crown, and put it in the freezer for a few days, the less freezing part of the freezer, say the fruit compartment.

He took his watch to the local AD. They are having to send it off for repair but said it will be fixed. He called me and told me he bought a Rootbeer GMT while he was sitting there.

He said "I have to have a watch don't I??" He's right
