I just realized that the gasket on my 44mm FC ROO is slightly misaligned between the 9o'clock and 12o'clock area where the FC meets the ceramic. Is this an easy fix, will it require a new gasket or can it be realigned? It is flush everywhere else except this quarter of the watch... now that I noticed it its driving me nuts!

Semi easy fix. Youre going to have to unscrew the case back screws and partially lift the bezel, then realign the gasket. hair dryer will soften it up if its crooked.

Sounds pretty simple in theory, I'm sure its a bit tricky though if you have never taken a watch apart. Is there any particular detail I should pay extra careful attention to if I attempt to do this myself? Can I over heat the gasket and have the opposite issue where it becomes too small? I almost fear that it is not a perfect (or close to perfect) shape and will always have to have a compromised area where it sticks out a bit... thank you jmicro for your help

I can't seem to figure out how to attache a photo, went to help desk and didn't find any info there. Seems the sales section is the only area that has some instruction for photos but it appears that it is is bit out of context compared to what I am trying to do here, which is post a simple photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You have to upload your photos to Photobucket or any other picture hosting service. And the. Take the link for the Specific photo you want to post and put it inside of the IMG tag.


Hope this helps.
