Since I have the time (due to the current unfortunate situation), I played around with the caliper. Sizes that seem to work:
- 3.00mm ID x 4.00mm OD for the big crown gasket (o-ring, 0.50mm cross section)
- 1.30mm ID x 2.30mm OD for the tube gasket (o-ring, 0.50mm cross section)
- 33.00mm ID x 35.70mm OD for the back gasket (flat ring, 0.40mm height, 1.35mm width)
The tiny second crown gasket... I won't be getting to that anytime soon I would need some kind of light emitting microscope to even have a look inside. It's a really tight space.
The watch was tested to around 8 bar of pressure (most that I'm comfortable with on my diy tester). Wet and dry test passed with no issues.
PS - somehow I managed to find the original specs for the back gasket, so the above are not my personal measurements. My back gasket is in good condition so I decided not to replace it.

Ocean 2000 gasket size

Hey there, I recently acquired an Ocean 2000 and it has not left my wrist since Since it will probably get a lot of wear, I'd like it to be waterproof. I did a quick pressure test and found that the crown is leaking ever so slightly. What would be the cor...
Thanks for your reply!

I'm doing a DIY job, as I'm located in Macedonia and far from any authorized service centers. I've done quite a few DIY gasket changes, I think the Ocean shouldn't be a problem given its construction.
You're welcome

And, welcome to WatchProSite. Can you take the watch apart to figure out the gasket size or has the gasket been destroyed?
Yes.

Taking it apart is not a problem. However, the tube gasket, and especially one of the crown gaskets, are so tiny that I'm afraid I won't be able to get an accurate measurement. The back gasket shouldn't be particularly problematic, the bigger crown gasket...
Impressive...👍

That you even have access to such cutout drawings of a vintage watch. That said, I wish there was a way to help with this.
Thanks anyway.

I'll search around some more, and if nothing comes up... it's off to the drawing board ))

if possible you order a crown gasket assortment and keep it handy ...
