Lilrascal Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I just received my Planet ocean from Andrew, and let me say it is beautiful. Very Heavy and solid. One flaw is my caseback gasket is torn. I am inexperienced at watch repair, but am starting to learn. Does anyone know what size gasket I need? Should I just order an assortment from ebay? Such as: Ebay gaskets Any help to a noob would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilrascal Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I forgot the most important thing ...try have a look here: http://www.replicacollector.com/members/in...showtopic=22234 I had previously seen that thread. It is what caused me to check my gasket. I pm'd Oldecrow, but haven't heard back yet. I have the 42.5mm Swiss ETA Version. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilrascal Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Did you solve the problem? Oldecrow sent the follwing response: "I can tell you the dimensions but I haven't ordered new gaskets yet to try myself so I can't say for sure if they will work. the o-ring groove is 36.5mm outside and 35.5mm inside which means the gasket is 1mm wide and it should be at least .5mm thick for a flat gasket. If you get a round o-ring for it you will have to get an assortment that covers that size range in different thicknesses and jus try them untill you find one that fits well." I searched the internet, and couldn't find a flat gasket that large. I ended up orderinf the o-ring assortment off of ebay. I am hoping there will be something that fits.

Thanks for the useful info, let's hope you can solve it. I'm particularly intrested as i'm gonna buy the same watch and i'll probably have to get some gasklet too. That's not an enthusiastic perspective but Andrew's PO is currently the best version available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be able to send you a replacement gasket and you don't have to worry about sizes this way... Andrew's a standup guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
