2824 second hand fitment


Recommended Posts

Hi all. Quick question. Does the second hand fit in or over the pinion??

 

The hour and minute fit over is the second the same ?!

 

I relumed a dial but can't get the second hand back on. And i cant work out if the pinion has snapped off inside the second hand as i cant get it to stay put.

 

Cherrs.

 

James.

What you have said suggests something is broken. See pics below:
Watch with sub seconds

If your watch has a sweep seconds then this is where it fits (sweep seconds pinion)

Many thanks....

hi i also have a problem with the seconds hand on an orient star gmt, the seconds hand does not have a hole to sit over the pinion but has a small pip that sits in a hole at the top of the hand movement but it wont pop in place, would their be a bush of some kind that sits in the hole that maybe came out with old seconds hand which ive lost doh.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
