That got me thinking that if I found someone with the parts it would better to get it serviced sooner rather than later as parts would just get harder to find. Bob Ridley had the parts so I decided to sent it to him. He ended up replacing the crystal, case seals, and tube. It was nice that the crown was still in good shape and didn't need to be replaced. The watch passed pressure testing to 100 feet with flying colors. Bob is a little pricey, but he does great work.
If your local AD has the parts that would be really nice. Nice looking watch. Enjoy!
