Hand broaching

[Neverenoughwatches]

Eyup watch peeps, how's we all doin x

I found a hand gauge this morning in a pile of job lot buys that ive just been shoving in draws, i didn't notice the little box as it was upside down. So I've been having a play around. I thought a nice relaxed friday afternoon topic. Who does hand broaching, who doesn't, what tools do you prefer for holding the hands , broaching the hands. Smoothing broach, diamond file, steel file , cutting braoach a combination of them. Heres a small selection of holders to try. A pair of old school broaching pliers , a small sprung hand vice and a bigger handled Japanese vice. What is an acceptable hand diameter increase, second, minute and hour hand. Who has hand stash, who uses them, how often to you buy watches with no hands. And who thinks i should get a geiger counter to test the stash of lumed hands
