Hi, Just wanted to show a before and after of a recent project. I completed Mark’s online courses a few months ago and have done a few small projects. Mainly servicing and repair of movements. I am an Omega collector and wanted to acquire the Seamaster Racing 1974 due to the Cal. 564 movement. I bought this on eBay for $500 and yes it was as rough as it looks. Rust, corrosion and badly maintained movement. I managed to find a NOS replacement crystal and bezel. I serviced and repaired the movement back to Chronometer specs. Unfortunately, I can not take credit for the dial as I sent it to Bill & Sons. But I will take credit for saving £200 off the bill by getting the Cliche for the outer race track on the dial done myself. I never liked the leather strap or the original one from Omega. Wanted a modern version of a beads of rise look but polished to match the watch. Also wanted a fully mulled double clasp. there are the final results today after assembly. -

Question
fixermole 6
I just cracked open a recently acquired Hamilton auto and came across something for the first time. It appears that in addition to the flat gasket inside the case, there is a groove in the snap back cover with remnants of another gasket.
Is this correct -- that there is supposed to be a thin gasket in the cover and in the movement? Sure looks that way.
