Hello, I’ve now installed the hands and all good, the only thing is I’d say is DONT install the H&M hands at 12 when the day/date changes, reason is (as I’ve now discovered) the day/date starts to change around 11:20/11:30 so it’s all transitioning and muddled when it’s still the same day, far better would be to wind on a few turns after the day/date changes then install the H&M at 12, that way the day/date will change about 1am - 2am or whatever, when most people are asleep, people are still awake at 11:30 and it’s annoying to have the day/date unreadable, I’m going to have to take the movement out again and try to slide the hands round a bit to rectify this, I really don’t want to dislodge the hands or bend them in any way though as it’s a really difficult job to get all 3 to miss each other as they spin round, so yeah my tip is DONT install the hands at 12 when the date transitions but to give the crown a few more turns, Seiko do this themselves for the very reason I mention above, cheers 👍🏻

@DIYWatchClub Жыл бұрын
Well... just be more careful next time. See what angle you were recasing it and how and where the second hand was bent, and try not to do that next time. Hands are movement-specific. So simply search for the hands for your movement. If it is a common movement you should be able to buy new hands for it. Good luck.
