Today's Easy Simple Mod

[ubiquitous]

I was digging through my spare parts today and came across some gaskets in an envelope. I almost threw them out when I remembered a perfect use for them.

Got out the 1680 and 1665, pulled the bezels and rings off and added the missing gaskets (MBW's come without this gasket, so it's a nice addition)

You should have told me that before I went swimming. Just kidding.

You wouldn't happen to have a source for those gaskets, would you, Randy? When I modded my MBW DRSD, I used the case back gasket under the bezel (figured it would be easier to find and install a new case back gasket). I ordered some 1665 gaskets from Ofrie, but they were too large. I ended up getting one from my local watch guy...But I'd like to have a direct source.

Good Job Randy,

i have done this by my 1680 too...

Wow does this mean that when you pull your inner bezel and Tropic there will be a space for a gasket to go in? Do you have the gasket size for the MBW 1665 by any chance....Cheers Randy

Hey guys... I'm not certain what size or p/n these gaskets are The envelope I found them in was unmarked, and I have no idea where or how I came into them. I do suspect that they are a caseback gasket of some sort...

I can measure one the next time I have one of my MBW's taken apart
