Pugwash Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I recently removed by Noobmariner caseback to take a photo of the movement to show people what it was like inside and, when putting the caseback back on, the O-Ring got mangled. So, I need two things: an O-Ring for a 16610 Sub and some grease for the ring. What size do I need and are these easy enough to get in the EU? Thanks to Narikaa, I now have all the caseback tools in the world. Just to make it a worthwhile post, here's the pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I may have one... I used most of my spare gaskets to put under the retaining rings on my MBWs, but I might have a few still in my watch box. If I do... Consider one yours, gratis!

Usil Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I bought a small tube of silicone grease in the basement of BHV in Paris. Had to look a while but finally found it. It is a small 4 inch long tube (20 ml) blue front of tube and says Graisse Silicone. Domix brand name. Works great. I put a small amount on my fingers and slide the o-ring through my fingers several times to apply light coating. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I do have a gasket, but no idea what watch it actually came from. Usually there aren't too many variations in size, but for a best fit, cheiftang's might be better as his is coming from the same watch that the gasket is intended for. I can send mine regardless, but just something to consider... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Thanks anyway, Ubi, old chap. I have a Noobmariner O-ring you can have. PM me. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I have no idea, I wondered all over the basement looking at each rack that had tubes of stuff hanging on it. I would have to do the same thing if I ran out. In the end, I only found one that had the silicone grease. She can ask a store attendant and if they are helpful - maybe point her to it.

docblackrock Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Puggy, I have one or two going spare too - don't want you mangling another now do we and torturing yourself with more pics of your dear departed 16610 BTW when are you leaving Paris? My GF's sister also had enough of Paris life (the beauracracy, the dirt noise etc.) after 3 years and moving back at Xmas. GF is distraught at the all those 'shopping weekends' she will now miss. Still, I wish now I'd made the time to meet up with you and Ry in the summer when I was in town for a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
