Dear Friends,

I finally bought the 323601. Am really new to the IWC brand. So I hope to stick around the forums to learn more.

My partner and I were in a hotel room earlier. I left my 323601 on the table. Unknown to me, she boiled a tub of water to make tea. The tub was really near my watch. Now, I am wondering whether will the heat cost any damage to my timepiece. I know I may be paranoid, as the 323601 is a robust, rugged model. It could be my OCD acting up. But, still I wonder…

So if any of you guys know anything about this, do advise me. I do not wish to send in for servicing / testing so soon after I bought this watch… Please help!

Regards!

I've put my aquatimer through it all, they're tough watches. I'm sure it's fine.

It's fine. I sent my Mission Earth through hell and back, then right before trading it for the 5005, I sent it in for service and was told all it needed was a light refinish. Gaskets were fine, functions were fine... It's a robust piece of machinery, you have nothing to worry about.

Just to give you an idea of how rough I was on this watch, I left it on the roof of my car once, and then took off. Heard it sliding down, then hitting the pavement before I stopped.

thanks mosco. i have no doubt about the shock-resistance of this model.

my main concern is its ability to withstand the heat from the boiling pot.

i have known you to be a wonderful trader of brands like IWC, AP, Rolex, etc on the forums. so i will be doubly assured if you can help confirm that the heat would do my watch no harm at all.

thanks gain, my friend!

regards!

Unless you boil the watch itself, I think you will be OK

Just in the coming days look for things like condensation under crystal and extremely slow operation. If none of those symptoms appear, you're good.
