Vintage Rolex question.....fog inside

Aug 01, 2020,14:29 PM
 

Hi,

I have an oysterdate from 1964, and I’ve noticed recently in two rainy mornings it fogs up.

My question, is this okay? Or the sign of a faulty seal? Service time? Pics below. Fogged up around noon in rain. Last pic from 5pm.

Thanks!

Not too tough, but it is important that you bring it to a Rolex Boutique for them to check the seals or the plexy. It would be very sad to ruin the dial! [nt]

The moisture could eventually damage the dial amongst other things.

Judging by the droplets magnified by the cyclops, prepare for a full service. [nt]
