Astrographic SST Mystery crystal gasket

I'm restoring my dad's Mystery (square) and when I pressed out the crystal, the gasket was completely dry rotted and crumbled into pieces.  Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?  Inside the caseback is #882-963.  On the case under one of the bracelet ends is #2616792.

Thanks!

No replacements available unfortunately.  Those gaskets are always either crumbled into pieces or melded to the crystal/case like concrete.  Very rarely are they able to be reused.

Thanks for the reply.  Do I have any options at this point to get this watch wearable?  Without being able to mount the crystal, the watch is just a paper weight.

Thanks for the help,

Try to buy a donor watch. There is a chance the gasket is good enough to be reused...

Maybe I am saying something stupid but  3d printing a tpu gasket?
