    Is it common to get a hazy inner bezel after swimming for 1hour? I purchased the Aquatimer last year. This was my first time getting it wet. For reference it's the Expedition Charles Darwin Edition. I'm slightly concerned since I figured a watch of this caliber shouldn't do this. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hi Craigeo,
    This should NOT happen to your AT!
    I've multiple and dive with them regularly.
    NEVER EVER did I get moist or damp whitin the watch.
    Go to an AD at ones, and let them look at it.
    Good luck and god speed .
    Yours sincerely

    Did you have the crown screwed down tight?

    I would recommend you have it serviced ASAP. The quicker you can have it opened up and cleaned, the better you may be able to limit the damage. Your big concerns are going to be dial and movement damage. If you are quick, you may only need a complete service and no new parts. IWC service will be able to determine if there was a defect that caused the seal(s) to fail.
