I need a watertight seal

I need a watertight seal for a Seiko Dive watch. The seal I need is the one that goes under the rear cover. Anyone know where I can get one?

When the stating gun fired I was 10,000 feet over Germany on my back with both engines on fire and ME 109's all around me. Now what about that seal? And what is a watch bar?

it's a couple of lines from pink floyd's 'time'. it's a reflection on how time passes by and one needs to make good use of it before it's gone. more classically, it would be summed up by 'carpe diem' (seize the day).

type into eBay 'seiko o ring'. go 'worldwide' if necessary.

any small shop specialising in walk-in watch repairs, such as 1 hour battery replacement.

the rubber gasket also requires some DC #7 silicone grease applied to it in order for it to work. You can get this grease from the 'bay as well. If you are really concerned about this watch having water resistance for diving purposes, take it to a good watchmaker and have them replace the seal because they can test the watch for 100m+ water resistance. Have fun with the do it yourself job!
