Don't mean to sound rude, but that is one of the craziest questions I've heard in a very, very long time!!!

Why on earth would any one of us be walking around with O-ring gaskets in our pockets....unless of course, we just happened to walk by the local Rolex AD and say to him: Hey man, I need a bunch of O-ring gaskets to cart around in case someone with a Rolex happens to need one!!!

Ever heard of an AD? I can bet you BOTH my Rollies, he's your guy!!!

No.... but maybe someone can give you the address of a decent watchmaker in your area?

Gotta agree with JJ, that's the weirdest request I've ever seen on a Rolex forum. Planning on using your vice-grips to get the case-back off, or do you happen to have the specialized tools necessary laying around your house? LOLOLOL

It's best to get your O-rings replaced by an a Rolex-trained watchmaker, if not an RSC. The results of doing otherwise could be somewhat undesirable:



EDIT: Image replaced with lame photo of busted pipe - the other one was just tasteless.

Sorry I missed the original, James. I love tasteless images.

Well Ed, it was just a picture of the Challenger, but I figure it wasn't seven-dead-people funny.

JJ, you told me you carried your spare o-rings in your wallet. Don't they make a circ-circ-circular impression?
