The case is then rebuilt using the new gaskets, crowns or crystals where necessary. The individual components are then cleaned in an ultrasonic tank to remove all dirt and debris which may other wise damage the gaskets. This includes the removal of crowns, pushers and in some cases the bezel and crystal. When resealing a Citizen watch the movement is removed and all case components stripped down as far as possible. The only safe way to know if a watch is water resistant is to test it in specially designed vacume or pressure test equipment. When removing case backs, the case back gaskets often break or stretch and should always be replaced to guarantee water resistance. Thus water resistance is not a permanent condition.

The rubber gaskets that seal the case back, crystal, crown or pushers will inevitably deteriorate with time. This is usually best done when replacing the battery or when ever any work is carried out on the watch. For a watch to still be water resistant the seals and gaskets should be replaced periodically.
