Orient Triton/Neptune Bezel Gasket Dimensions?

Long story short. A few months ago, noticed my Orient Neptune/Triton's 120-click bezel was now 60-clicks. Popped off the bezel off and voilà..one of the tabs/legs from the bezel spring was broken, and the bezel gasket was broken as well.

Researching, learned that the metal bezel spring is exactly the same size as the SKX007 bezel spring, so ordered a generic SKX007 bezel spring from AliExpress (which is the one in the photo).

It fit perfectly onto the Neptune's grooves.

Regarding a new bezel gasket; I lost the original which broke (in order to measure the dimensions). Anyone know what dimensions the Neptune bezel gasket is?

I tried lubricating and inserting a few generic gaskets I had hanging around, but it was not a good fit and the bezel still turned 60-clicks. Couldn't get a strong "pop" when inserting the bezel again onto the case with those either.

If the SKX007 and Neptune bezel springs are identical in size, does that mean their bezel gasket dimensions are also the same? SKX007 bezel gasket dimensions appear to be: 34.5mm x 0.70mm.

Thanks for any help.

Hey @composer, bummer about that broken bezel gasket and the original going missing, especially after you figured out the SKX007 spring was a perfect fit! Regarding the gasket itself, have you had a chance to actually try an SKX007 gasket on your Triton, or are you still trying to confirm the dimensions before getting one? Sharing that might help others here confirm if they're compatible!
Trying to figure out the bezel gasket dimensions. I did order a SKX007 generic bezel gasket. I will give an update once it arrives, and see if it fits!
