ttocsa Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hi All, Sorry if this has been asked before (but I could not find the answer in my searches). What would you guys recommend to install and seal the pushers and tube to case please? Loctite blue CA? O-rings? or something else? If o-rings are the answer, where could I find the right sizes please? Thanks, ttocsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I used the small, soft metal washers my Ofrei.com pushers came with (read this). I placed a small dab of GC Crystal Cement on the threads as an additional seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pushers that I installed on my DW case leaked despite being lubricated with silicone. Not a single bubble from the case to pusher seal though. Everything else on the case sealed up good and tight. They may seal good enough to wash the dishes, but I'm afraid to shower or swim with the watch on. It failed the pressure test at 3 atm. I didn't re-test at a lower pressure, so it is possible they will withstand lower pressure. I think that if you want a good water tight watch you need to replace the DW pushers with aftermarket daytona pushers. The aftermarket pushers are of much better construction than the DW pushers, but the holes need to be re-tapped to accept the threading on the aftermarket pushers. Maybe Avitt will chime in when he reads the thread and offer some suggestions-he was very generous with his time and advice when I was working on mine. Btw, thanks again Avitt! Good luck ttosca.
