Andy,
Thanks for the quick reply! I found one pack and am hoping it works. I don't see any water in the watch, so I may be in luck. Worst part is I was expecting my watch to be waterproof enough for my pool as I plan on wearing it in there regularly.

Well, after day 2 in the pool and going down to 8' the watch failed. The crystal was fogged up this morning. I've opened the crown in hope it will dry out. So much for testing out @ 3 bars! Anyone think this watch will survive as is?
I might have a 1665 MBW dial from ETZ for sale soon. I was in the process of building a watch and ordered several parts from ETZ, but looks like I'll only get the dial from them (I got it before they went quiet). I'm just waiting to see if another deal is still on and if so, I'll have the part for sale.
I didn't know it was his secret. I've had pretty good success with bleach, but it took about 20 minutes before the look started to take. I hear it really depends on the insert as they can be different from each other.
The high grit sandpaper is a great idea. I ran a Scotchbright pad over mine and it seemed to give it a nice effect.
