Where can I get a caseback gasket for this? It's not a normal rubber one but a wide'ish washer type.
got a pic of what's left of the o-ring ?

Not yet pulled the caseback away completely.
Will do later and take pics and measurements if possible.

just thinking size wise would an old vostok o-ring fit it and you can pick up faulty vostok cheap or even a vostok o-ring itself from the bay cheap like from zenitar or some where like that
for example

Movement. Dirty but running strong.
Tried to take a pic of mark under balance.
BTW whats the button for next to crown?
that's more then likely the crown release dimple think a amphibian o-ring might just do it

Sorry, wasn't a very well asked question.
What I meant to ask was, what is the button above the crown on the side of the case?
I'll keep an eye out for the Amphibian gasket. Thanks again.
