Jetsons Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 I used a thin coat of silicone grease. Works perfect. Jet
purspeed Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Posted June 24, 2006 Thanks, Jet. About the oring, what is that Oring's purpose? Also, should I polish the case where the bezel sits to allow smooth bezel movement or would this create a situation where the bezel wouldn't remain seated?
Jetsons Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) About the oring, what is that Oring's purpose? ....My guess would be to help keep the bezel fit snug around the case. No wobbles. Also, should I polish the case where the bezel sits to allow smooth bezel movement or would this create a situation where the bezel wouldn't remain seated? ...All I did was to clean all areas thorougly. Mine was full of dirt probably from the factory. Polishing should not affect the smoothness of rotation as the metal bezel washer prongs handle those duties. I also did not apply grease as that would tend to attract dirt. Added; Good idea to polish the bezel whille it's off. A dremel and some fine plolish ( I used Simichrome paste) made it look much better. Glad I could be of help. Cheers, Jet Edited June 26, 2006 by Jetsons
ehtolcad Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 i saw some teflon/silicone spray recently - would that be good to use or should it really be done with the jar of silicone grease?
Pugwash Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 About the oring, what is that Oring's purpose? Waterproofing. Like a washer in a tap. Metal to metal can have small gaps if the sides are not 100% flush, so you put a compressible rubber ring between them and you get watertight.
manuel Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 i gotta see a picture to catch the idea. its about waterproofing, right?
purspeed Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 I cheaped/lazy'd out and used vaseline on the Oring. I did polish around the areas where the bezel meets the case. Removing the factory "crud" and polishing and a thorough cleaning has now made the bezel move smooth, yet tight. Vaseline: if it's good enough for gays, it's good enough for my Oring.
Guest TTK Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 I think most gays would agree with you on your O'ring......!
KenMc Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 depends on how you intend to mount the o-ring....!
supermanx Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Where can I get an oring for my pam 063 (44mm). Just opened it up to check the seals and there was't one.
