Seconds hand missing cap & tube: please share some advise


Recommended Posts

Hey guys!

 

I hope everyone is doing great and having a relaxed weekend.

 

Today I’m posting for a small (or big?) piece of helpful advise. I do have a vintage chronograph and the hands are pretty much irreplaceable. The problem I am facing is that I have a center main chronograph hand (aka running seconds hand in other watches) that doesn’t have a tube for the seconds wheel pinion and no cap on top - which it is supposed to have. How would you guys tackle a repair of this hand that comes to a visually appealing and working result?

 

Thank you very much for your ideas!

All the best!

Thank you for your feedback guys! It is a vintage Valjoux Rolex Daytona center chronograph hand. Replacement for that is ridiculously expensive and I want to keep the authentic hand to the watch, hence my question how I could replace the center pearling & tube. I’ll take a few pics tomorrow.
