Seal Ring for Casio W35 Marlin

[rptr]

Recently I had to remove the movement from my Casio W35 Marlin to fix the push buttons which were not working.  That was successful but now I am not sure which was to put the seal ring back in.  Can anyone help with this?

Hi.  If the original gasket is still good  re grease and refit , after close inspection. Should there be any nicks or twists replace it .

I have replaced the o-ring.  However, the ring I am talking about is the steel ring that goes on top.  This may be a feature exclusive to the Marlin which is supposed to be waterproof to 50 meters.  This ring has quite a bit of machining and the two sides are different.  I am not sure which side goes in first.

Here's a short, poorly shot video of someone opening a W36 (I assume is close enough to the W35). I'm not sure which ring you are referring to. Could you post some pictures?

Thanks for your response.  I looked at the video you referenced.  It seems that there are significant differences between the W35 and the W36.  The W35 has a snap on back and the W36 has a screw on back.  Also the W36 does not have the steel seal ring I have mentioned.  I will try to get some pictures but it may take a while because I have moved and don't have access to my camera equipment.

If you have a smartphone, these pictures are usually just fine!

I am having some trouble learning how your website works.  I couldn't get any text in with the pictures.  Some of the pictures look a little brown, rusty.  Actually they are all bright steel.  The color is some artifact I didn't have time to figure out the cause.  I hadn't used my camera for several years so the battery was down.  I may have lost some settings.

Here are some new photos of the seal ring which will better show the difference between the two sides.
