This will only work if all the rice grains can get together and suck really hard....

An AP tech is required ASAP.

True, an AP tech is required ASAP , the rice grain plan would just be an alternative solution to get the condensation out of the watch to prevent anything from the dial.

i guess those threads asking if it's ok to wash your hands wearing a sub have merit.

Well, the good news is that I heard back from Clearwater. Watch will be fixed under warranty.

I really want to know what caused the sealing issue. They should tell me when it's ready.

Glad they will cover it. I wouldn't expect anything less from APSC. Please let us know what they say on what caused the leak.

Yes. Like a cracked ceramic case, for example.

Glad they're making it right. From what I hear, this kind of great customer service is standard-issue for AP.

I'd send it into the service center. I wouldn't take any risks.

How unfortunate! I wouldn't expect this from a Casio, much less an AP.

Glad you have it sorted. Hopefully AP will throw in a couple of goodies to make up for a poor seal.

Well, repair and service were completed. Feedback is it was a bad crown tube. They threw in 2 years of extra warranty and services the movement as well.

It's good as new now. I'm pleased with the service so far.

They only gave me a travel case, that's all! But service was top notch so no complaints.

Happy days. I’m sure you’re chuffed to bits now.

Glad the issue was resolved and you have it back! I've heard AP has its fair share of crown issues of all sorts. That's a shame.
