It is different for a sapphire caseback on the cal 1863 then the standard ring for a cal 861, you see an example on the right here with the part nr.
I know SwissVintage has one from the UK but with import fee and custom charges it is to expensive.
Thanks for looking and hope to hear from someone !
Best, Ron

I did that conversion.
The ring for the sapphire back is taller as you don’t have a dust cover.
You can actually use a rubber gasket of the correct size, sits on top of the ring, stops it rattling and is not visible.
Takes a few tries to get right.

I hope this helps.

That is how i have it now and the extra O ring does the job, but i prefer it to be correct so the search is on. Already have the odd size O-ring specially for the movement ring so hopefully i will not be a long search.
