Jkay Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 The crown on my DSSD screws down exactly 1/2 turn more now, 1 year after it was new. My question is .. is that normal gasket settling OR is there an issue with the gaskets that needs to be addressed. I do get this watch thoroughly wet multiple times a week. It's my beater.

Dizzy Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I would assume the gasket inside the crown is becomming compressed. As long as the gaskets are kept lubed it should be water resistant. You should probably pull the crown off and have a look at the gaskets and replace them if necessary. dizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 You should lube, check and if necessary replace the gaskets once a year as you would a gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Ohhh I didn't know there was a separate maintenance schedule for the gaskets, from the movement. I thought it was a 5yr cycle for everything. thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 If you plan to swim/dive with your watch, it makes sense to have it water-pressure tested (at least) yearly. But, to the best of my knowledge, a proper service should include fresh gaskets, which, under normal usage, should remain usable until the next scheduled service (5-7 years).
