Bongo my friend, are you implying I started a Myth?...I simply went on other
discussions on the topic about the L-flanged gasket.
Of-course the watch is designed to be as he gas proof as possible, thats not the issue or question of what my thread was about, My thread explored the action & science of this gasket & how it operates, and as a matter of fact, the gasket design was said to be due to the He gas ability and must serve some purpose, or else there would have been no need for this specially designed gasket.
Research?..Yes all it takes is alittle research & there are those who would have one think they did the research but have not provided any concrete data on the subject.
I for one & many others here would like to know this question and know if the L-gasket serves any purpose just in-case he gas does build-up in the case at extended exposure to he gas? Its no myth that we are all here discussing this issue!
Thanks,
Jimmy
