My dad got water in his (fake) Patek Phillipe watch. I opened the back and started drying it out with a blow dryer (cool air). It looks dry but the watch no longer works. How could I go by fixing this? Getting it repaired would probably cost the same amount the watch did.

You may find a local repair guy willing to work on it depending what kind of movement is inside, but they most likely won't warranty nothing on a fake...so maybe just toss it

It's unlikely you'll find a watchmaker/jeweler who will be willing to work on a fake, and if they do, as Billy states, they won't warranty the work. Your best options beside just discarding it, are to find out if any of your friend's have the tools and the ability to try to get it working, or try tinkering with it yourself.

Does anyone have an opinion on this Oris Pro Diver Chronograph Watch. It's water resistant to 6,600 feet with a Helium gas valve. The only thing that I might not like (never got to see one in person), is that it's a 51mm watch. I thought my Panerai 44 mm Pam0112 was big! Everything  (case, band, etc,) is titanium. Sapphire crystal.
 
Also, the unidirectional bezel lifts up, then you turn it, then you push it back down to lock it in place. I especially like the "wave" face. It has a 42 hour reserve.                                                            The date is worthless for me, I'd need my reading glasses.

 
 
Anyone? Bueller, Bueller?

I love the Oris watches. I like that model and also the regulator version of the diver. I've never had trouble with my Oris...Solid as a rock! :beerchug:

Immt take my Breitling seawolf if you want another diver, seriously I am selling it now anyway. If not make sure you go used on Oris because if you buy new you will loose your balls on selling it later.

How can anyone lose their balls? Like, they're right there, man.

I heard of stories but i umm yeah back to watches..
 
Thanks to appophylite for sending these two over
...

 
 

 
For $15 these watches are damn amazing! They light but look really nice in life, Esp the Vijay! The Kohinoor  is on the Gold side but the dial is really textured nicely. I will be wearing the Vijay today..all day!
 
 
Look at the glass height!

Congrats on getting it working again! Yup-mechanical watches are indeed beautiful on the inside. Part of the lure of mechancial watches right there! And vintage watches are an excellent way to go! The only really vintage watch I have around is a vintage mechanical Timex I acquired for my sister, and part of its beauty is the fact that the mechanical movement is hardly larger in diameter than my thumbnail. You find yourself a good vintage mechanical, and it'll keep you happy for a long time.

Sold the Breitling Seawolf, Baume Capeland S, and Raymond Weil and bought this today.
 
Zenith El Primero Class T open. 40mm gray dial. Watch looks much better in life as this is a quick picture. Always longed for an El Primero!! Love the Gray dial as it matches my car but fits in between the white Milgauss and Black Navitimer nicely.

Egads! I never gave Zenith El Primero one good look until everyone here and on watchuseek started posting pictures of their El Primero acquisitons. Now , I'd love nothing more than to get my hands on one!
