Hi,

After about 30 minutes of trying to install the seconds hand on an ETA 2834-2, I took a closer look and realized that both the seconds hand and the pinion are "male" type.

All the hand sets available on ebay / amazon have the seconds hand with a solid post; can't seem to find a tube type one.

I"m new to this hobby. Am I doing something wrong ? Is my ebay sourced eta  movement a copy?

Thank you for your help!

Since it had been already answered there below, not much sense in having a duplicate. Also, one can always ask mode to move topics using "report post" that appears hovering the top right corner of any posting.

I've never seen a second's hand, in fact any hand with a "Male type" receptacle. Mind posting a picture of that? 

That has been explained in the original topic linked above, this duplicate can only add confusion.

@Watchweasol, thank you for the document. It's a great reference.

@CaptCalvin, I've tried taking a picture but my iPhone can"t properly focus. I"ve even tried using a loupe without any success.  Your stament that you have never seen a male type seconds hand makes me believe that I might have gotten a set from a bad batch. The hands set was purchased on ebay. I'll try to get a better quality set from one of the reputable vendors like ofrei or esslinger.

@jdm, wanted to report the duplicate post but somebody had already posted an answer. Sorry for confusion.

Thanks again to all of you!

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
