I’m looking for a Seiko case back seal and can’t seem to figure out the right size. 
I measured the o-ring groove in the case @ 29.7mm x 0.7 mm

heres a photo of the case back showing the numbers. 
 

Any idea where I can get this seal?  
Thanks, Bill.

Hi there BillM ,I see you in California have you tried https://seikosis.com/ I have bought many Seiko parts from them . They are in California , or you could try your local watch material house who should have an assortment of caseback seals where you should find one that will fit.

Hope that helps

Thank you, I will try the link you posted.  
I have purchased an assortment of watch case back seals and none of them fit. 
 I can’t find a part number that cross references the number on my case back, and no one gives actual sizes, so I don’t know what to order.

Hey fellow bay area watch noob. 
I ran into the same issue. Do you have calipers? i'd probably buy some as a generic identical gasket costs literally about 1/30th the cost of an OEM one and it's the same damn thing. 

If you don't have calipers i would go get some cuz you'll need them for random things, if you do you just gotta measure the size of the gasket and figure out the esoteric weird way they post sizes for these things at places like esslinger and jules boral and other watch material houses. 

I basically asked this same question and the kind people here gave some good info for this sort of thing in this thread

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      Thanks everyone for your helpful replies. I think between us we’ve worked out what’s going on. Next job is to have a proper look at this great wheel assembly, see if I can remove the clip and the friction fit pinion, give the bits a good clean, then put it back together with a bit of blue grease. I’ll also get the pallet fork under the microscope to see if it’s ok or been damaged.

      The cannon pinion (be it conventional style or what you see in this movement) should slip on its arbour so the hands can be set independently without affecting the gear train.  If there is too much friction between the cannon pinion and the second wheel, turning the hands to set them backwards can sometimes force the escape wheel teeth to overrun the pallet stones, creating the behaviour you describe. The train is running in reverse when this happens.  This can often chip the pallet stones. I’d say at least half of the watches I’ve inspected with very tight cannon pinions had chipped pallet stones. Hopefully this isn’t the case with your watch.  I’m not familiar with this movement but you need to get the friction in the cannon pinion adjusted correctly.  Hope this helps, Mark

      Pallet fork was in. I’d had the movement running ok, and only removed the balance to flip it over and install the keyless works and date mechanism. The pallet fork wasn’t locking the gear train when hand setting - it was oscillating as the escape wheel rotated. This may have been in one direction only - can’t remember.
