Hello All,
My speedy pro (1 yr old) fogged up while on holiday last September. It went back to omega who said it was thermal shock. They pressure tested it, said it was fine and sent it back.
All was well until it happened again (no swimming or alike) 2 weeks ago. It has since gone back to Omega again and they have said the same thing. No faults and it was thermal shock. See photos.
I have lost confidence in them - not what i expect from a rather expensive watch!
I am obviously concerned about moisture damage in the movement which i cant imagine has been removed. Am I being too cautious?
Anyone had the same issue?
Any advice?
Many thanks

Hopefully! No diving or swimming in this one though!

HI all
thanks for the responses. Just to clarify i didn't do anything out of the ordinary. No swimming, no pushing the buttons underwater etc. We had lunch outside in the sunshine (it was warm, surrey not sardinia!) and noticed it in the evening. That's all.
Given the price and supposed quality, I would be surprised if weather had such an impact!
Oh and i am well aware (now) that 50m resistance only means it can cope with light drizzle while wearing a waterproof jacket!

As it's well in warranty I'd send it back in a fairly grumpy fashion.
It is back with them now. My concern is how/why this has happened and will it happen again if they continue to say there is no problem!
