Condensation in my Superocean

I recently bought a Superocean Heritage II 44mm Blue dial/bezel.

I have worn it non-stop for the past 2 months in SW Florida.
Yesterday, while on a boat near Cape Coral, I looked down to see condensation drops on the inside of the crystal. I wasn't in the water, the watch has never been submerged beneath swimming pool depth. Crown was screwed in and always is.

Obviously this needs to go back to AD for service.

Has anyone else had or heard of this problem with Breitling diver watches.

Sorry to hear this, Mike. I'm sure the service centre will tell you which gasket / what failed to cause this. I hope you have it back very soon, better than before.

Thank you, it's disappointing since I really like the watch.

Warranty work is usually a quick turnaround. The last time I had an issue with my B01 Chronomat, it was gone a month and came back with a full service. On

I took the watch into an AD (Yamron Jewelers) in Naples, FL with my warranty info today.

They couldn't have been nicer. They expect the watch will be repaired and returned in 3 weeks. I'll post when I get it back, Thanks.
