recommend a tool for lifting sub dial hands

Recommended Posts

Looking for recommendations for a tool to lift the sub dial hands of chronographs 7750 etc.

I am currently using these Horotec levers, if they hand a bend in them they would be perfect (for me). Does anyone know of any other levers of this size or similar with a bend in, so you can actually lever the hands out? or an alternative tool?

The other Horotec levers I have are too thick to get under the hands.

I've something similar to these which I bought a few years ago on the recommendation of an earlier post to this forum. (Probably other sellers that do the same.)

Work well for watch hands and small second hands on some of the vintage watches that I've an interest in.

For £5 definitely worth trying, thanks

You already have one of the best tools: the dial itself!

It works but not on all subhands.  I use a generic lever from Cousisnuk . Need to file them to shape though.
