I like it. I suppose you chose a different style of minute hand so that it would be immediately identifiable?for a person such as myself who needs reading glasses, this does make sense.you would not have to squint or put on your glasses to know which hand is which.

Thank you. In regards to the minute hand. Yes I wanted it to be readily identifiable. I was going for a divers style orange hand, which is relied upon heavily for keeping track of dive time. The larger hand makes it easily identifiable underwater and the orange color is the last the loose its hue/color underwater. :)

    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

    • In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
