Where can I find a pin for the second hand for a Ronda 715?

[iltl32]

I'm trying to repair a Luminox watch with a Ronda 715.  When I took the hands off, the second hand was held on with a tiny pin, which I unfortunately lost.  I can't seem to find that part anywhere (although I'm not sure what it's called to search for it).  Diagrams for the movement don't show the pin, and replacement hands don't seem to include it either.  Any ideas would be helpful.

 

Thanks.

Correction, this is a 517 movement, not a 715

Hello iltl32 , from what you wrote i think that the second gear has broken , the axis is on the second hand and the gear must be inside the movement . A picture would help , you need a new second gear i guess.

Probably cheaper to buy a new movement then searching for new parts?

Only costing about $7-$10 .

This is a new movement, I took the hands from the old broken one.  The second hand came off with a tiny screw/pin attached to it, which is what I lost.

In looking closely it looks like the hole in the seconds hand is much larger than the post it's supposed to attach to, so I'm assuming this 'pin' was a sort of bushing.  The bushing goes into the hole of the seconds hand and onto the post of the movement.  Does this sound correct?  If so, does anyone know where I can get a replacement hand with the bushing?

Sounds like from your description you broke the secondhand. The secondhand has a permanently riveted in place tube that sometimes when removing the hand separates from the hand. So you're going to need to buy a new secondhand.
