Servicing a 14790 - Waterproof Test - Need help with Parts
I am in the process of servicing my 14790 which I didn't send to AP but sent to a reputable watchmaker who I have been using for a long time. The watch will not pass the waterproof test currently and seems like the rubber seal below the bezel that may need replacing.
Does anyone know how to get a replacement part for this watch either aftermarket or OEM from a dealer, watchmaker or parts supplier that would fix this problem? I have emailed a few vintage/modern watchmakers (Ridley, LAWW etc) and am coming up short. I found one on ebay but there is just no way to verify it is any better than the one that I have. Help appreciated. |

If you have a seal between the mid case and case-back you have a reference 4100. I’ve attached a partial image (all I have unfortunately) of a parts map for this reference, hopefully you can identify what you need.

Your original post said case-back, now updated to bezel.
Hope you received a message from my friend I believe he has the correct part for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
