Vintage Banana .....
I have started collecting vintage watches other than vintage rolex and vintage tudor for quite some time. Especially for vintage diver watches, I have just found these vintage diver watches are very interesting. I have bought this Japanese book and it is a very good reference for a wide variety of both vintage and contemporary diver watches. Other than that, .scubawatch.org is a very good reference as well.Since then, I have collected vintage Seiko divers 150m ref : 6105 8110, and 300m ref : 6159-7000 ; Eterna Kontiki Super ; Longines Nonius ref : 8225 ; and Tudor BC 7924.Seiko 150m (6105-8110)Seiko 300m (6159-7000)Eterna kontiki superLongines Nonius (8225)Tudor BC (7924)This time, I have found this vintage diver with exotic dial and iconic sword type military hands, omega seamaster 200 ref : 166.068 which was produced in around 1970. Because of colorful exotic dial with the yellow color as the key tone, it is also banana seamaster. [pic borrowed]In additional to its exotic dial

Is there a trick to getting the case back gasket on a Sea Dweller to seat...?
Long story short I have my 11660 Sea Dweller open on my desk. I fixed what I needed to fix, but now I am stuck with trying to put the case back back on. It seems like the gasket likes to just pop itself up every time I press it into its little seat. Is there a trick to getting this thing to stay, or does it just seal itself when you tighten the case back?
