Cartier Ballon Bleu Classic Model 33mm Dial, featuring the original Swiss-imported ETA2671 movement.

This is a common misunderstanding among those unfamiliar with mechanical watches, often leading them to believe there's an issue with the watch.Additionally, to prevent moisture from penetrating the case and to maintain the water resistance of the mechanical watch, please ensure that the crown is securely locked after setting the watch. It's also important to note that water-resistant watches are only resistant to everyday water exposure; hot water can somet.mes
