LOL !!!!

You can use a silicone grease (NOT a sealant), available at your local hardware
or home improvement center. Just squeeze a dab onto your finger, then
thoroughly coat the gasket (O-ring) with the silicone. Reassemble the watch.
That should keep moisture out. Make sure that the gasket is seated into its
groove and tighten the screws holding the back on the case well...
