Gasket Size / Type for VSF V2 Datejust 41?

Hi,
want to waterproof my VSF V2 DJ.
Already got a set of "lubribox" and grease and tools needed.

As its supposed to take out the gasket to grease it, 2 thoughts came to my mind:

  1. maybe should source a spare one, in case i damage the original one when pouring it out the case. so what are correct dimensions for caseback gasket?

  2. on AliX i saw an "waterproof o ring" gasket, red color. Would it be better to replace it by such one or stick to the black ones not especially labeld "waterproof"?

thx for any help

Hi everyone,
as i got my frist Rolex Rep and am thinking about switching the bezel, i was looking if i should get myself an E25 press from AliX.

Thought, cant be bad to have one, as well as for bezel and/or crystal switching as for having something which could also cleanly screw off the caseback.
I knew i would need some dies and so was looking which one to get.

Few days i was wondering, i couldnt find any designed for Rolex screwed casebacks until i realised, that this press, even its operated through screwing the top, cant unscrew anything, as the lower part just moves up and down, but doesnt rotate :D

So now im thinking about if theres something "better" to get. Is there anything which can press and/or screw? :D
Or would i definitely need 2 seperate tools for these works?
