Condensation in dive watch

Hi,

If attempting to purchase the battery, please call a local watch store first (might be within a local mall). And then you can check websites like Amazon and ebay to attempt to find the battery for your watch.

Thank you.

Tag Heuer watches are constructed with scuba-diving bezels-- that is to say, it only turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE. This is so that when you are diving, you set the triangle marker to the time you went down. If you accidentally bump your watch while diving, it will move only counterclockwise, leading you to think you have LESS time left to dive, which is so much safer than thinking you have MORE time to dive, than you really do.

Thank you for contacting FixYa.
If you have a good quality scuba dive watch that needs to be repaired, such as needing a battery replacement, it can be tempting to do it yourself. After all, don't you just need a screwdriver, a battery and rubber gasket (possibly)?
Well, yes. But if you do it yourself, you run the risk of voiding the warranty.
So if you change it yourself and the watch later floods, you are out of luck. So check your warranty information carefully before you attempt to do anything yourself or have someone other than the manufacturer/authorized dealer do the work.
If the manufacturer changes the batteries or does any other dive watch repair, they will normally retest the watch and certify that it is still water resistant to whatever level applies.
This is not to say that a qualified watch repair shop can't do the job. It's your decision but at least it will be an informed one.
So the long and short of dive watch repair - if it's a good dive watch, you'll probably want the manufacturer/authorized dealer to handle it if you don't want to void the warranty. A cheap dive watch? Probably not worth the bother.

mcdevito75 here, If your watch has a stem (winder) it is most likely 2 position, Pull out stem to first position, this should allow you to change the date, set the date at 1 number before the actuall date you want, NOW pull the stem out to set the time, rotate the hands until you have the date and time for the actuall date.

In most cases the winder has 2 positions, mcdevito 75 here, pull the stem out very carefully to it's first position, this should allow you to change the DATE (number) by turning the stem eithe toward you or away, once you get the Date, pull the stem out to it"s 2 nd position and turn the hands until you get the correct day. mcdevito 75

The day is changed when the watch passes midnight or thereabouts. Turn the winder until the date changes and then turn it backwards until it is past the date changing point and wind it forwards.

You will have to experiment to find how far back you need to turn it before going forwards again.

a watchmaker needs to open and dry it out...do NOT put it into heat or light to dry it as that would most likely warp plastic and any parts inside

As you pull the mainstem out, there will be a position, a 'notch' if you will, whereby as the hour and minute hands are rotated the date will change. Rotate ONLY clockwise, and when the desired date appears, be sure to turn an additional 360 degree turn on the hands if you are setting the date in the afternoon. Otherwise, the date will lag by 12 hours.

Hi,

Maybe you can try above link to contact Swiss Wenger for the repair of your watch. It's best to send your valuable watch to its Authorized Dealer for repair.

Thank you.

Per "Sector" all of their watches are "water resistant to a minimum of 300 feet". Note that they do not say "water proof".
