Heh well to be honest, I don't know! Story is that we were in Kuala Lumpur recently, and we went to their Chinatown one eve for some silly fun. As soon as I saw all the watch vendors, I thought I'd go look for an 116655 albeit on a whim as it was something to do, and I wasn't going to buy a whole lot else. So after about 2 hours of looking, and unsurprisingly not finding anything up to scratch, I came upon this one. After some chatting and starting to haggle on a possible price, I made a comment that it wouldn't be waterproof, and he said "yes it is- let me show you!" So I followed him out of some back area showroom and down a passageway to a door, which when opened revealed a bucket of water which he promptly dropped the watch into. Semi-mortified I said "ok! I'll go have dinner and if it isn't clouded over when I get back, we'll talk!"

An hour or so later I came back and it was going well, so I told him my best offer was MYR450. He accepted and so I grabbed it, purely for fun, but also because it looks very very good and the rose gold is quite on the mark.

Almost a month later and it's not only going well, but keeping ridiculously good time (1+ or+ 2 seconds a day). So all-in-all a fun little purchase without too much care or expenditure, but a nice little rep, 21600bph so guessing a 2813 movement :)
