If the gasket is natural rubber (and perhaps even "synthetic"), Vaseline
will dissolve it. Anyone who uses a certain product found in pharmacies
knows this.

I wondered whether the original post were a troll, as it's hard to
understand how the poster would be aware the watch was leaking, without it
having been inundated with water.
