If the tip of the seconds hand pinion broke off inside the original seconds hand, a new hand will not help completely- you will need to replace that seconds hand pinion as well, so the new hand has something to attach to.

What did you end up doing to secure the dial?

Thanks for the input. The second hand pinion was the reason for this whole saga. I bought a new second wheel where the pinion is attached. I then decided after watching YouTube videos i was ready to replace it myself.

For the dial i ended up buying a pre owned one that had the feet and just replaced the dial.

One detail is not clear to me. Energy is being transferred to the mainspring barrel; you say it's turning. What's not clear is how far it gets away from the mainspring barrel. The energy that's going

If all wheels turn while winding, then your pallet fork is not doing what it supposed to do. You can see it from the back side - next to the balance wheel.

  It can be a good idea to replace the gasket as well, especially if has any kind of damage. If it's a very tight fit between the gasket and the crystal, a thin layer of silicon grease on the gasket can help a lot. Keep us updated!

  Double checked, definitely a fake bezel. It has a thin plastic gasket that creates the seal for the crystal. I went ahead and gave the case a good cleaning, and light polish. Now Im just hoping I can install the new crystal with out screwing up! I will likely be putting it in tomorrow night.

  Try the gel we used during covid. Works really great for removing gasket-turned-to-tar residue.
