Need hands for a 1934 Westclox Dax

[BillM]

I’ve been searching for all three hands for a 1934 Westclox Dax pocket watch a friend gave me but have had no luck. 
the hour hand hole is huge @ 2.35mm and no one seems to carry hands that size. 
the watch is in bad shape but I’m cleaning and rebuilding it anyway, mostly for practice.  
I’ve looked at eBay for a downer watch but they all are too much $$.

Any suggestions?
 

Thanks,

Bill.

Evening BillM,

Have you a picture of the Dax? I've recently got working an Ingersoll "Junior" from around 1910 and over Christmas an Ingersoll "Crown" from the 1940's.

Did Westclox make movements for other brands? I only mention it as Ingersoll and Smiths in Wales were associated many years ago and I was able to chop and change parts to get the "Crown" working again. It may be a case of being able to hunt down a cheaper less known version. Alternatively if you're not fussed about the exact hands I'm sure you'll be able to use hands although cosmetically different from another Westclox model.

Good luck

Evening Bearman, 

Here’s a photo of the watch. I just finished putting it back together after a badly needed cleaning.  
I do not really care if the hands are not original, I just can’t find any the right size. 

I have no idea if Westclox mad movements for other brands.  
 

I’ll probably end up buying one of the Westclox watches off eBay, I just need to find one cheap.

Hello BillM, By coincidence I had a Westclox "Pocket Ben" arrive in the post today. I won't upset you and say how much I got it for!

I think it's from the 1920's 30's it still works which is great. I also noticed is has the same movement as yours, no doubt the hands from this one would fit yours. I do know Westclox changed the movements on later "Dax's" and "Pocket Bens". If you can track one down of a similar vintage I'd think you'd be ok.

Bearman, well that’s at least encouraging, thanks. 
i just purchased this one off eBay ( got it at best offer for $15). So I won’t complain, a set of hands alone would cost that. So hopefully these hands fit.
