Itsreallyme, was it a question of the watch just getting wet (e.g. in the sink) or what?

An ex-colleague was committing sport in the local swimming pool and was wearing his Aerospace at the time. A little later it stopped working.

Breitling said that what probably happened was that as he got out of the pool by hauling himself onto the edge rather than using the stepladder, the angle between his arm and wrist had been sufficient to press against the rotating bezel, moving it enough to cause water ingress. That sounded like BS to me - and I think he also had to pay for the repair himself.
