Again not a step by step guide but just what is possible.
The Casio MD-703 Shrouded Diver. This watch is from the late 80s... Dead, requiring battery change.

Time to get out the tools. Since this has a screw down case back....

Do you use new gasket?
What do you use to lube it?

No, I use the old gasket. I do inspect the gasket for any damage and if there is any flat spots. If there is, I change the gasket. I have some gaskets that I got locally, they are generic in size and comes in most of the common sizes. As for the lubricant, I use silicon grease that I get from my watch guy. I am not sure of the brand.
