I’ve been digging everywhere, I’ve built a no date using an ARF sh3135 116610 with gen dial hands and bezel. I really want this as waterproof as possible but can’t seem to find the back gasket anywhere? I think the crown tube is the 7030 but it major to get it my case. I just want to replace all the o rings and see how good I can get. Anybody know this info?

Thanks very much I appreciate the help but what I’m trying to figure out is what the part number for the case back gasket is. I have pressure tested and it leaks from the gasket and crown at 4 atm according to my cheap tester.

I even filled out one of esslingers forms for the gaskets and they still said they couldn’t help

Dealing with the same problem, even with different searches. Anyone know the part number for the case back o-ring on the 116610? Thanks

Do you have the rep one that came with it? Unless you tested it and it failed a pressure test, I'd suggest you first test it with the stock gasket. I've never had one fail a pressure test from the caseback gasket. If you need to replace, here's the best source.

Anyone know of a UK suppler for the above?
