IIRC My steel MM used the ‘spray can seal” and I’d say that is a little tighter.

BTW the o rings are I bought from AliX ( cheaper and larger quantity ) arrived before the ones I purchased locally through eBay… go figure!
Difficult to get gaskets to fit spot- one, the ‘spray can’ mod is perfect, cant locate this exact gasket however.

The aluminium caseback is the No 1 modification for wearability you can do to any of the cases, especially the bronze. @Kp0y is now making aluminium casebacks for millemetri cases.
