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

      Good exploded movement posters...

      By JeremyLaurenson · Posted

      I suppose this fits "best" in this forum 😃 Im looking for some wall 'art' that doubles as a reference. Specifically Id like to find an ETA 28xx or Sellita exploded movement view. 2824/2836 would be ideal. Have any of you seen/found such a thing - there seem to be a lot of these for specialized movements, and none of them ready to print or to be had as a poster. Why help is appreciated.

      Deciphering mainspring specifications…

      By praezis · Posted

      The diameter is that of the ring - afaik, will have to look it up. “Wiggle room“ doesn‘t matter as long as the spring length is in the ball park.  Essential sizes of a mainspring are thickness, width and length. Diameter is just a hint if you can push into the barrel directly or will need a winder, it is no property of the spring. Frank

      Hi @Zendoc, I guess you're like me and you don't have a mainspring winder.  I searched GR mainspring for the AS 1686 mainspring and I now understand your dilemma. The exact one is discontinued. To answer you question more directly, I see two good alternatives for you: a) GR4485 with 1.60 x .10 x 280 x 8.5 ( I guess this one is the one you found): https://www.cousinsuk.com/sku/details/mainsprings-by-list-watch-pocket/GR4485 OR b) GR4477 with 1.60 x .095 x 320 x 9. https://www.cousinsuk.com/sku/details/mainsprings-by-list-watch-pocket/gr4477   As you know, the the AS 1686 spring is supposed to be 1.60 x .10 x 300 x 9. - both of the above will fit and you'll manage to insert them from the retention ring without need for a mainspring winder (provided you know how to do it). - GR4485 will give you more power (=higher amplitude), but less power reserve (due to shorter length) than the original. - GR4477 will give you the same power reserve as the original. However, a bit less power.   Personally, I'd take GR4477 for two reasons: 1. Well, the power reserve is better. 2. With modern lubricants and modern mainspring metal alloys, you tend to get a higher amplitude anyways. You'd maybe even end up with too much amplitude (knocking) if you go with the original size and use thin synthetic oils-- see discussion here: https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/10580-omega-calt17-help/#comment-248101

      Boley lathe motor silly question.

      Your setup is correct. The smallest diameter of one pulley must correspond with the largest of the other one, else not speed variation. Frank
