Automatic Watch Stopped Working After Getting Wet?

Automatic WatchI have a beautiful Swiss Marin automatic watch. By accident it fell into a river and got wet inside, it took three days to dry out, but now it is not working. I opened it from the back and also when I shake it it starts running and in 10 seconds it stops again. I love this watch and need it in running form:'(

If the back of the watch comes off, use a blow dryer on low heat to dry the inside of the watch -- works wonders. If possible, do this outside in super cold weather so that you end up with the lowest possible dew point inside your watch when you are done. Allow the watch to cool before you put it back together.

Salt produces corrosion in most metals when put in the vicinity of water - allowing ion migration. Salt is a BAD idea.

Rice is much better as long as you assure that any dust associated with the dry rice can not enter the movement.
