Have you tried the condensation test tricks ? For instance placing the
watch in, or better, above hot water for a while then stick it on a
warm plate. If there was any swating on the inside of a seal, the
glass will fog up. There is also a fridge trick, but i don't use that,
so can't remember it. Daz will.


not sure about the fridge trick :)
just place the watch in nice warm spot for a while or warm under a light
etc, then place a drop of icewater on the glass, the sudden chill will
attract any moisture inside the case to the cool spot on the glass.

Right that must be the cold thing<g>, and i should have said "cool"
plate, not warm plate. Whoops. :-)
