Smart man. I'll be doing the same. Btw, I found 2 more.

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 dont see why people think reps cant be water resistant, as long as the correct gaskets are in place

I just took my new MBW 1665 into the pool last night. I only went down about 7', but no problems at all.

Andy,

What's the latest on this?

Great video, Andy! I have a MBW 1665 on the way and I plan on using it in the pool frequently. Great to hear all the other responses too.

Andy,

I voted for the DRSD just because you want to sell it. They all look fantastic!

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.

hah! you might as well ask the wall, Ubi's never giving up that secret publicly.

what works for me is some straight bleach for a minute (give or take) and some high grit (2000 and up) light sanding around the edges. one of these days i may try some brake fluid, but im currently all out.

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.

ubi,

Those inserts look fantastic. What are you doing to age them? Bleach?

That watch is sweet and the insert looks perfect! Any plans to age the case or are you going to leave it as is?

Very nice modding! I hope to own one that looks close to yours one day.

Huh man, that's a lowrider crystal! Shouldn't it sit a bit higher over the insert? Anyone with a t19 pic on a 1665?

Dean

What was the story on the t19?
