Chuck P Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Both survived a week of body surfing in the Pacific. No issues at all accept maybe a little sand under the bezel of the 1665. Easily rectified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProMariner Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Very nice Whoopy mk2 dial Does the case have a faux or working HEV ? (Like phong and yuki cases does ? ) Edited December 1, 2014 by ingelero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck P Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Actually not a Whoopy dial! This was a prototype PT from some time back. One of the nicest rep 1665 dials I have seen (especially in the price range)! Better than the Whoopy which I sold because this one is better. HEV is faux....sealed inside. I don't think I'll ever need it. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Dang that's a pretty watch. Isn't it fun to take those old timers in the ocean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck P Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks Nanuq! Yes, something extra satisfying about taking these things for a dip! Partly the beauty, partly the "see, I CAN make this watch water resistant!" :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Man that is one beautiful looking piece. Sent from my droptop using telepathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue. Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Pretty nice, Chuck! We are still missing some pictures and report about the 1016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Excellent stuff. And there I was thinking that Rolex were the only people in the world who could make a watch waterproof. Amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck P Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 And the 1016, with a brand new Swiss engine running under the JMB-based hood. Also performed flawlessly in Maui. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue. Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Great to hear that the JMB case set is also ocean tested, Chuck! Hope you rinsed both watches with fresh water after each saltwater session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck P Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Sure did. Back to the condo for a full fresh water rinse each day. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
