New Hands & Dial Help

[keflin2612]

Hi Folks,

I'm just trying to fit New Hands & Dial to a watch of mine, I've put the dial on and tightened the two screws that hold the dial feet but I've noticed that the pin that hold the two main hand and the pin that holds separate minute hand aren't really central to the corresponding holes of the dial, is it important that it's bang on.

Cheers.
Kev

If tube of no hand rub on dial plate, the watch should run, however, you best take the dial plate off and streighten both feet to get all arbours centered to coreesponding holes.

Good luck

Hi Kev   could you post pictures of the problem please.  Did you measure the dial feet positions on the old dial and make sure that they correspond to the positions on the new dial. If you look for a sheet on the movement it may tell you the positions of the holes in the front plate . Also check the feet are not bent, they should be straight and fit with no bending If you cannot find a sheet post the make and caliber number others may be able to help.

Thanks guys, to be honest I never thought about measuring the dial feet on the old dial, I guess I can try tweaking the feet a little bit with the tweezers or a very small pin vice, I'm just a bit worried about breaking them.  
Can I ask what a sheet post is please.

Sorry bad grammar, missed the comma.  What I meant is look for a tech sheet/drawing of the movement, If unable to find one post the make of the movement and the caliber number of the watch movement and picture of the watch  movement  front and back and we may be able to find one for you. Hope this clears matters up.
