In Response To: Re: Grease the gaskets?>> ()

from railroad watch tools.A lot cheaper than the $18 they want for the Seiko brand.
I do notice that putting gaskets in bone dry stretches them or they get squished out the side of the caseback.
BTW,thanks for sharing the expertise....
: No need to get Seiko's grease - this is
: available from any watch material supplier
: or even your local auto parts store. Watch
: material houses usually also carry a little
: container with pads which you saturate with
: the grease. Drop the gasket in, twist the
: lid a few times, voila, gasket coated with
: thin film of grease. Also commonly supplied
: with underwater camera housings and used
: each time the housing is closed.
: There are also clear sealers applied with a
: watch oiler to the case back which are
: supposed to help with water resistance.
