Second Hand Question


Recommended Posts

I have a luminox quartz with an eta 251.471 movement that I had to replace the movement and tritium tubes. All is well except when I went to install the sweep second hand I buggered it up and need to order a new hand. I have several assortments of hands but I dont think I have the right size. I just need to know that the hand Im looking for is a .3 as thats whats stated on the movement info I found. The ones I have are too small and even though I have broaches I think itd just be easier to buy a new hand. Also it seems that the ones I have the tube part of the watch hand is too short. Any advice or help as to where to shop for this size hand would be helpful.

I would suggest a watch material suppler. Can you measure to old one? you will probably need the cal number of the movement.

At the top of the page you will see Resources, it will show Parts & Tools Suppliers, click that and a list will come up and look for the country you need.

ETA 251.471 uses a .30 second had as stated above. Any with right length and  that satisfies the OP will work.

Thanks. Yes. Im fairly confident its a .3. I spoke with a tech at cas ker and they have one on the way....

This time even though I have an active account with them and have purchased a ton of stuff I got the "are you a watchmaker" interrogation......the watch police must be on red alert.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
