Forgive this still somewhat newbie for possibly being over concerned, but I haven't worn my Milgauss in a while, so I pulled out the crown to wind up and my nail may have popped the rubber gasket off? I felt like a slight pop..That's what it felt like unless its my imagination... I don't see a gasket and to be honest I don't know if there was one.

Any insight would be great. Should I bring it to rolex jeweler to have it looked at?

Thanks in advance

Unlikely it has vanished. Maybe just stuck up inside the tube rather than nested near the crown.

If it hasn't been serviced in past 5-10 years, perhaps a quick pressure test will allay your concerns. If it passes no worries, if not then the seal may have been ready for replacement if that's the case.

The GV has a a large 7mm crown but it is a twinlock so no rubber 'o' ring to pop off.

Twinlock is second fron the right.

On the far right is the Triplock and you can see the 'o' ring on the outside of the crown stem.

PS: Eddie, are those your cross-section props?

You sure it was not your nail that "popped"
