[bosstaki]

Hi guys! I'm just thinking of refurbishing this ancer pocket watch? Does anybody know what style of hands I need to be fitting to the said watch! And lm looking to refit a new crystal? Does anybody know what type I require? Low, high, dome! Edge bevel! Glass/acrylic, cheers!

Looking at the link "Kraai" has posted the style of hands you need are named "pear". Also the crystal is flat not domed.Looking at your pic I would say it is glued in position.

 

As a side issue found this useful link re- styles of hands.
