Saving a tubeless seconds hand

[mrkrsl]

My current repair has a beautiful, original seconds hand which has lost its fitting tube. The hand was sat on the pinion when the watch arrived, but it was slipping and fouled the minute hand. I'd prefer to re-use the hand rather than replace it, if possible.

I have a donor seconds hand with a tube that fits the pinion. I was thinking about applying a very fine dot of epoxy with an oiler and fixing the donor tube to the old hand. Any thoughts about that, techniques or alternative fixes?

Hi   First measure the pinion for size.  an assortment of second hands should yeild a donor. Epoxy or suitable loctite cenent would work but needs care so as not to bung the tube up
