Watch Repairs

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

Hi Guys,

 

I had a question that I thought one of you may be able to help me with.

 

I am repairing an old Wittnauer 2000 watch and all has gone well except the second hand won’t stay in position. No matter how firmly I have pushed it into place, it just falls out.

 

any ideas of how to fix this?

 

thanks

dab of super glue should do it

I'll be honest I don't fancy watching you repair it

NO disrespect but most of us on foxestalk cant even agree on footballing topics with a coherent sentence between us(Apart from Countdown King @StanSP!)

 

To ask for advice on a specialist issue like a watch repair is just asking for stupid comments!!

 

I agree with Royston though....

Can you not ask on Tic-Tok?

You might want YouTube for something this niche

If you are anywhere near Hinckley there is a really good watch repair guy I can recommend.

Having looked at the videos, and deciding to opt against using super glue, I reckon I can live without a second hand. I mean I am not timing the 100 metres sprint. 
 

I don’t want to pay for it as the watch, when fully working is only worth a couple of hundred. I just want the challenge of fixing things like this myself… even with my dodgy eyesight!
