Timex - Red Dot Diver 1990

I purchased this watch on eBay and just wondering if I’m being crazy that the hour hand is not aligned totally correct? It’s been keeping awesome time and is just fantastic to wear. I’m a bit hesitant to try to align the hour hand, what are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Firstly, you need to remove the movement.  If you can remove the back, we can show you how.  Then the hands, replace the hands at the 12 o'clock position.

Thanks, I’ll get the back off and the stem removed. I’ve seen that removing and replacing the hands can be tricky. Should I buy those specific tools first?

i’ll post the pics when it’s apart.

I use cheap hand levers, filed and polished.  Put a thin plastic sheet over the hands to protect the dial and stop the hands from flying.  Watch a video on it.
