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

      As a beginner, I’ve found this forum invaluable. I doubt I would’ve persevered without its support. I’ve had the confidence to attempt things that seemed to me impossible only because I knew there were patient and giving folks gathered around this watering hole, available to share their skill.    I would very much like to know where to go if this one dries up and everyone needs to decamp.  There’s something special about the folks gathered in this group.  How to keep in touch?

      Boley lathe motor silly question.

      By eccentric59 · Posted

      After a 3-week work fiasco that took up 137% of my time, I was finally able to get back to restoring a G. Boley 8mm lathe I picked up on eBay. I still need to do a bit of polishing on the tailstock but it works very nicely. Before and after pictures below. In any case, when I was reassembling the motor I wasn't quite sure which side the pully attached to, or if it matters. My question is ... does it matter? The listing photo below shows it the reverse of how I have it now, but it seemed that the cord and the reversing lever(s) should be on the right away from the belt.

      Deciphering mainspring specifications…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Thanks Richard.  That’s clear.   So - another question - how much latitude is there in barrel and spring sizing? Say I have have measured the ID of my barrel to be 9mm and (all other mainspring specs being equal), the closest match I can find for a replacement mainspring is listed with an 8.5mm barrel size, is it acceptable to fit the smaller spring in to the slightly larger barrel without compromising anything functionally?  I’m in this situation now with an AS 1686 which has a 9mm barrel, but the closest replacement I can find has an 8.5mm diameter listed in its specs.  I can find an alternative 9mm spring, but would have to accept a different thickness.  I’m unsure how much wriggle room is acceptable, or whether in mainspring sizing, there’s a priority - ie thickness over barrel size etc. Thanks again for any info.  Cheers, John
