Sounds like a good one. I need to get to a place in my life where I know what it means.

From my experience YMMV DO NOT DO THIS.

I did that to three of mine, moisture got into the case and corroded the entire inside of the case and movement. 3 watches fubar.

Interesting, I hadn't thought about that. It was an idea that popped in my head and did a quick Goog to see if it was a thing, and found multiple websites saying that it was.

I have a cheap case for mine, if I threw a desiccant pack in there would that help? Or is it not even worth it?

Batteries are cheap, movements are costly. Not worth letting the moisture in.

Unless you keep your watches stored in an air-tight container, do not do this. Moisture can enter the watch when the crown is open.
