@Giles might sound weird, but i've had success opening a caseback with a big fat ball of duct tape, or a rubber ball. Salt water is pretty corrosive, getting the moisture out sooner would be better than later. In case the movement fails, a replacement movement (ref V175) should be about a hundred quid or so and can be done by pretty much any watchmaker. No idea about the solar cells in the dial, and how well they hold up to water..

Thank you. @peng posted a couple of vids to that effect above, but I was in the middle of nowhere, so could not do anything. The tool will be here tomorrow, so I'm going to wait for that.
Yeah, I have a boat, I know just how corrosive the stuff is
I am stunned that it still works....... -
@Matt I was supposed to have socks from IH delivered today… but the driver didn’t bother to deliver. Lucky they can check that and I will be a jobsworth tomorrow and complain

@sophisto000 like Giles said, it was DPD here in the UK... they're generally decent, I was just in a bad mood yesterday so I probably wont actually complain... It's just annoying though, I deliberately waited around in the evening for the parcel, and the driver sent a picture which was just a black square and said they left a calling card which is total BS.
It's only a few pairs of socks, so I'm sure I'll live waiting until Monday to receive them

@Jord If they don't deliver because they run out of time or whatever, that's fine. But lying about it? Fuck 'em.

@Jord the drivers here have elevated their game and no longer use attempted delivery. Now they use incorrect address (checking with customer for correct address) or weather delay.
Seems like too many drivers were getting caught with no attempt to deliver with all of the doorbell camera’s being proof and no longer could use the excuse.
