I am replacing battery on my wife's lovely Ebel ladies wave and the gasket on the bezel is shot.

Model # 1157111

My Dad was the Ebel service agency in Phila but he is gone and I'm stuck looking for a new gasket.

Ideas on source for gasket or even part number?

 

thx

Ebel parts are very difficult to get why must it be Ebel ? Its just a round gasket that fits in a groove at the back of the bezel its not a fancy shaped gasket so it should be possible to fit a generic Swiss gasket.

Measure the o-ring groove ID and the o-ring cross section and then visit www.mcmaster.com and search for O-rings.

Note they have Metric which are easy and the US (Parker) standard numbering system for the "inch" ones. Get your measurement converted inches and mm and search both (exactly 25.4mm per inch conversion).

Another thing is that the smallest cross section is 1mm, so if it's a thin 0.5mm o-ring you have to search/ask the watch supply houses, which will cost more.

thanks all...I guess I am a bit of a snob as I was trained to use genuine parts whenever possible.   But you are all right and a generic gasket will work well.   I have ordered a set of various sizes hoping one will fit.

there books and books on o rings,  both metric and inch.   the o ring groves diffrer depending on its use.  the material differs also depends on use.  temperture,  solubility,  age of material formula, etc..   i don't know of any designed for watched.   they worked great on radial engines.   vin

      Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂
