Let's pretend......

So you own two watches......

A 16600 Sea Dweller and a 1665 Sea Dweller.....

You do not work at a desk......

You work with your hands and you get dirty.......

But you like to wear your watch all day every day.....

Which watch would be your daily wearer??????

Yes, Keep the Plexi- crystal 1665 safe from the work, and save it for the play.

definitely wear the 16600 if its going to get dirty. fixing and repairing the 1665 will be much harder if you should ever damage it anyway.

Yep.

Funny how back it the day we wore these watches in any and all circumstances. Now-a-days however a little caution is wise---especially given the condition of your 1665.
