Question for Experts: What Happens to the Black Ring (Seal)?
In Response To: postscript ()


Thanks for the update, Stewart. Good to see that it stays in the family, and perhaps the new owner will want to participate on our Forum.

Here is my question, for the experts (Arno, Jasper, Ralf and other Monaco experts): What is likely to happen to the black seal when this case is opened? Is it likely to be OK (with the case opening cleanly) or is there some chance that the seal is a sticky, oozing, oily mess? Is the dial at risk in th eprocess of opening the case?

Fantastic to hear that this one will be worn. Consistent with my philosophy that if I own it, then I will wear it!!
