Stripped this down for a friend today and the centre of the second hand has pulled out, the collet on the centre of it has been tightened before and is and is a bit of a mess.

The second hand needs replacing, I rang seiko and it's a 6 week back order for the part. 

I dont normally work on seiko Watch's so am not sure where else to try to source one faster than seiko UK can supply it and didn't really want to wait 6 weeks.

I wondered if anyone could suggest anywhere in the UK I might get a white second hand exactly the same as this one in the picture!

I have sent him a message on eBay, thanks.

Doesn't look like cousins have one, although I hate using their website off a phone and might of just not found one  but thanks for the suggestion.

Even if from a popular model is not guaranteed at all you can find it easily. Try asking Dagaz or Yobokies if they have one left from mods.

Or place a replacement hand and have him come back when you have it.

    • All watches are repairable a few oven duff tools knowledge skills. But I was just agreeing that it be easier to get a movement.
    • First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?
    • I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. And often swapped parts are not the expected solution of all problems. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank  
    • Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.
    • I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.
