Technical question please…

How long can rubber seals (gaskets, o-rings) last when silicone grease is used to protect it? In other words, if a watch is worn regularly and normally, how long does silicone grease extend the life of the watch’s gasket and o-ring?

…

Anyone see a gasket inside the tube?

FYI: There is NO gasket inside the crown or stem. So I wonder if there is a gasket inside the tube?

I’ve read many accounts that the “old school rubber straps” last longer than new silicone straps

How has your rubber (silicone or natural rubber) strap held up over time (months, years, decades?)?

If a watch has been sitting in a store (and unworn) for over 10 years, does it still need servicing?

Like, would the watch need new gaskets, etc? (Just wondering since a watch shop I visit do have some old watches that have been unsold for 5 to 10 years).

I know, it’s a technical question but was wondering if anyone would have insights.
Thanks

Owners of 3, 8, or 10 Day Power Reserve watches: Do you wind up your watch daily?

Even though your manual wind watch has a long power reserve of more than 72 hours++, do you still wind up your watch everyday (to the point of ‘topping it off’ daily)?

Thoughts please?

Thanks
Louis
