Bought a case for a Valjoux 7734 movement on Ebay. With hands and dial. The subhands does have to small tubesize for the hands. Seller says the handsizes on the old vs new are different.

Would like to have that verified somehow. If i look here the hand have this size. I sent the case and the hands to the seller. He said he could fix the hands so the fit my movement. Not going to hang out the seller but he did a very bad work fitting this hands. The chronograph hand is to loose and almost fall of. Marks on the dial . And so on. But would like to now what the other size valjoux 7734 has for hand size.

    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years Avon and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic. 
    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.
    • Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was.
