looking for source - ebel model 1157111 gasket


PWR

Recommended Posts

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

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
