Awesome. Thanks for the link. I'll be sure to order it.
Also, I'm planning to grease the gasket while I'm in there. So when people say "grease the gasket", they don't mean grease that gasket on the crystal but that silicon ring on the retaining ring?

You should not put any lubricants on the crystal gasket. I do not put any on the bezel gasket either though I've seen it done. My opinion is it's not needed and just attracts dirt and dust. Silicone grease goes on the black O rings for the case and tube/stem seals.

I'm sorry, maybe it is only me and I can't get why this is happening: on other threads as well photobucket photos look quite blurry...

So we are in 2023 now, sorry for the noob question but would this tutorial be applicable to the CF 124060 Sub?
