Can’t tell from the pictures. For sure it looks foggy. If it’s condensation, it should clear up soon when y u r not wearing it.

Looks like condensation to me,I’d be worried if just wearing it fogs the underside of the Crystal.

Id remove caseback and let it sit in container full of rice or spmething to absorb any moisture.
Leave it for at least a couple of days.

I can’t tell from the fuzzy pics.

Unless you have the Rolex jig to engage the caseback indentations, I don’t suggest opening it.

And what ever you do, don’t put the movement in a bowl of rice unless you want an overhaul. The microscopic dust would gum up the lubricant.

Technically the moisture should go out the way it came in when u r not wearing it. Regardless u should get it sealed. At the same time check to see if it needs a service.

I was told by seller midas wasn't offered with gaskets? And isn't waterproof? if there is a way to make it water proof I would definitely be interested. Any one who has any info on it thanks in advance.

On a normal Oyster case, that is usually condensation from a cold watch and a warm arm and a caseback that isnt sealing.
I had an old 6694 with a bad case back gasket and it used to condensate all the time. I replaced the gasket and never had the problem again.

From looking at Pics online it seems that Water ingress was a major problem on the King Midas,Elvis’s Personal King Midas was ruined from Him wearing it in a Hot Tub.

If you have any of those dessicant 'bags' that you get with new electronic or camera gear. You could put the watch in a small container with a couple of those
for a few days. Maybe rotating the watch a couple of times. Worth a try.

Nice watch, by the way.

Thanks guys I have looked at older pics of watch prior to purchase and believe it's on the crystal not dial if I turn watch in other angles it's not evident only looks like that from angle in which pics were taken. But I could be wrong.
