Assembling
the Case
Glue the door seal on the front sidebar.
In order to protect the movement
from dust entering later, the case
is outfitted with door seals. Cut
the adhesive seal that came in
your kit to the right length and
pull the protective foil off the back
as shown in the illustration. The
sealing lamella that came in the kit
comprises three layers. As shown
in the illustration, the actual
piece of rubber is accompanied by
double-sided tape covered by protective foil on the outside. To add
the rubber to the case, you must make absolute certain that you only
pull off the protective foil. In order to do this, it is best to first only
bend a piece of the foil on one corner. Only pull on this after you
have ascertained that the adhesive strip still remains securely glued to
the rubber.
Add the gasket strip to the long recess of the front sidebar without
stretching it. Please make sure that the opening of the v-shaped seal
points toward the inside of the case when the case has been fully
assembled. Otherwise, the seal may stick when the door is opened.
Now pre-assemble the bottom and the cornice.
Push the hinge bushings into their drilled holes in the bottom and
cornice plates. Using the oil syringe included, put a drop of watch oil
in each bushing.
When doing this, please pay attention to the tips for using the tools
found on pages 28-29 of this book.
Cover the hidden drawer in the cornice with an adhesive inlaid tile.
Pull the protective foil from the back of the tile and position it within
the recess. Push on it well to make it stick flat.
