Help! A week ago I went for a swim & sauna wearing my 12 year old Omega Speed Professional, shortly after the damn thing misted up and no sooner do I get rid of the condensation (airing cupboard over night or left at room temperature) and put it back on it mists up again. I have never had it serviced and have previously swum / saunaed (some time ago) with it without problems.

Any suggestions on how to cure apart from sending it away to the service centre.

I agree the issue of not clearly stating actual usable water resitance that can easily be understood is rediculous. Although is it not the same as car speedo that shows up to 150mph and it can only manage 110mph!

Why not get it a brother? I can't afford it! and unless you are loaded all you need is one really decent watch thats my though process, I saved up and bought the watch 14 yrs ago (age 21 as I saw one in the Science Museum on a school trip and thought it to be really cool)before kids and a mortgage! I have worn it 95% of the time the rest a £30 Casio and an inherited Rodania and its been very good however the plexi glass is a bit susceptable to damage and its bulk means it gets knocked easily. I guess it was my fault for being to tight to get it serviced and this is the price you pay! As my wife pointed out to me "its buying a Range Rover and not being able to afford the servicing" -great!

That brings me onto another matter if the Speedmaster Pro was a car what would it be? Porsche 911 2.7 RS Lightweight or a Mercedes 300SE 5.9?

Have sent watch to Chris Heal so job done. Uktrailmonster - I couldn't possibly sell my Speedmaster (too sentimental, significant acheivement etc) so I will stick to swimming with my Casio - 200 metre so just about right for a swimming pool!

Aeropilot more like an early Range Rover with vinyl seats!
