Markrfc 3 Posted May 11, 2014 Sub case backs are usually 29.5mm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apcm 0 Posted May 11, 2014 Have a look at a sticky ball. Works on most case backs, and no risk of scratching and about $4. Not wanting to hijack the thread, but I was also looking at buying silicone grease too, and the Bergeon branded grease is about 20 time the price of non branded. Any recommendations?

Brunkaren 0 Posted May 11, 2014 well.. im having a hard time uploading photos since ive got to link them, and i only have them on my hdd. about the greasing, get a small brush also! it will make it a lot easier to grease the gasket under the crown. besides that gasket, i removed the gasket from the back and greased the shit out of it, then i put it back what is a sticky ball, and where do i get one?

Sticky balls are great for removal in a jiffy, but not so good for making sure your caseback is good and sealed. Use the correct tool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
