g) Position the new o-ring from the kit in the
groove around the battery, ensuring that it
sits towards the outer edge of the groove.
NOTE
Do not lubricate the o-ring! Lubrication
causes the o-ring to twist when the cover is
put over it, causing the watch to flood.
h) Position the cover onto the watch case and
press it down evenly. Ensure that in the area of
the screws the cover touches the watch case.
i) Keep the cover pressed onto the watch case
while hand tightening the two screws. Don’t
use excessive force while tightening. Ideal

j) Reposition the strap which was removed in

331 onto the thread of the screw. Hand
tighten without using excessive force. Ideal
torque is 25 N cm / 35 oz-in.
