<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 670589, member: 25"]A moderately dextrous person can reinstall the hands, the minute hand goes on the square in the center, push fit, make sure it agrees with the hour hand for time, that is, that it points to the relevant quarter according to the hour hand, and the seconds hand has a 'pipe' that slips onto the seconds arbour that you will see in the middle of the seconds dial. These are tweezer jobs. The glass is a common size, your problem is finding someone who has one, of course.</p><p>The NAWCC may be able to help locating a watch repairer somewhere near you. There are no watchmakers any more since George Daniels died.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
