As for the crystal, is the watch a vintage (Acrylic crystal) or Modern (sapphire crystal)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneed12 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 With reps, it just depends on the case. You can buy an assortment of gaskets by the bucketful for less than $20. Get an assortment of sizes. There's a listing on ebay right now for 750 case back gaskets for $19.99, assorted sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, when I used to run a Mitsubishi store we used to have guys come in and buy the "Mitsubishi" brake fluid for their Evos, I guess that's the same.
