    Guys,

    I just picked up one of these beauties from Mexico off of the Bay. For those that are not familiar, the entire movement "case" can be removed from the case (pretty cool). There is a tiny gasket that runs around the perimeter of the movement case (in a tiny groove), which I assumes help keep it snugly inside the outer case. Anybody know what the part number is? It looks like it is starting to dry rot. I checked out Ofrei, and didn't see one listed. Thanks for any assistance.

    If I recall correctly a generic o-ring in the correct size will work fine.

    Any idea where I could pick one of those up? My hardware store has some but they are slightly too large. Thanks again!

    Figured out a cheap fix. I used a rubber #67 plumbing o-ring, stretched it onto watch and then careful used a curved scalpel blade to trim it flush - worked like a dream...and 2 bucks for a pack of 10!

    Thanks! I waited and waited and finally found one in great condition in England. The lume is still bright on the bezel!
