What is water proofing......?

• We'll begin with clarifying the meaning of
  waterproofing. No watch can be fully waterproof,
  the term water proof in a watch is illegal to be
  used in the USA since the 1960s. Water resistant
  is what is used today, and that can mean from a
  splash in the water fountain to a dive of 600
  meters. We are going to make sure that watch, any
  watch, diver or not, lady's or men, can be water
  resistant to a maximum possible.

Steps to follow........
Step 1 Open the watch back. Step 2 Check the
O-ring or gasket and replace if it is needed. We
place the new or old gasket in Gasket/O-Ring
Lubricator, and leave it there while we continue
with the watch inspection.

Step 3 Clean the back of the watch carefully,
use q-tips with silicone, and make sure that both
the watch back and watch case are free of any
dirt. Step 4 Remove the stem and crown, and
clean the case tube ( if any) and the crown . If
the crown is damaged, it needs to be replaced.

• Step 5
• After cleaning the crown and the tube (the hole
  in the case), apply silicone in the crown and
  parts of the stem. Make sure that the stem and
  crown are back in place in the watch and are
  functional.
• Step 6
• Clean the crystal of the watch and inspect. There
  should be no cracks or damage to the watch
  crystal, if any are found the watch crystal
  should be replaced.
• If you replace the crystal, reset it with Seiko
  2-Part S-310 Crystal Adhesive, Seiko S-314 U-V
  Adhesive, or similar to provide maximum water
  tight seal.

Step 7 Now that the crystal is either clean or
new, so we get our The Rocket Glue, G-S Crystal
Glue and we go carefully around the crystal and
the case, applying glue on the edge. You only
need to use a very small amount of this glue. The
purpose of this is only to seal little
imperfections that either the crystal gasket or
the existing crystal glue may have. Let it
dry. Step 8 Now Remove the gasket from
Gasket/O-Ring Lubricator, the gasket or O-Ring
should covered with silicone. Place it either in
the groove of the case, or in the back of the
watch.

Step 9 Apply more silicone to the back and the
case and close the watch. Step 10 Set the watch
and look for any glue or silicone left over and
clean it.
