Hi, I was looking at a post dating from December. In the pictures, you also remove the crown and stem. I wasn't sure why you did this. Can you explain? Thx,

Because there are three rubber gaskets in the crown, hence the name triplock.

Thx! So I gather that you apply a little silicone grease to each gasket? Do reps also have the three gaskets on the stem?

Yes, and yes. Be careful with the amounts. You want the littlest of amounts.

Sometimes you will find less O rings, depends on the particular watch and WP setup.

Just make 'em greasy shiny!
