Fix watch

[wilson1973]

I have a rotary watch that has a second hand that has fallen off,can anyone tell me if this is something that can be fixed at home or who could do it cheaply,I'm not even bothered if they throw the second hand away if it's awkward to refit

From your photo I was at first thinking "what fallen off hand?!" but I can see you've just taken a picture from a website e.g. http://www.stock-sales.co.uk/Rotary-Chronospeed-GS03908-04.html ! 

You could attempt a fix yourself for sure if you're careful and have the right tools e.g. a case back opener, small screwdriver and a pair of tweezers.  Once you have the case back open you'd then need to remove the movement from the case so you have access to the dial side of the watch to do your repair. Myself or other forum members can certainly guide you on how to do this but there's no point me rambling on now if you don't want to proceed down this route. 

You could also take it to a watch repairer but since you can pick up good condition watches of the same model as yours for little money (look at recent ebay sold listings for your watch model ... they've sold for around £30) then any repair is unlikely to be uneconomical.
