WATCH REPAIR:How to replace watch hands

How to replace watch hands, if your hands on your dial have fallen off, all is not lost they can go back on and be as good as new if you follow this method

Thank you I was able to follow this and refit the seconds hand that had worked loose on my vintage watch. It is now working wonderfully to time ⏱

Are cheap wrist watch hands interchangeable?  Say my watch has a black seconds hand and I have this other watch that has a bright red seconds hand.  Can I simply switch them out or are there many sizes in wrist watches?

Anybody know what size is the hole diameter for a Rolex Milgausse Second Hand?

You must pop off or unscrew the case back, remove the crown (usually there is a hole with an arrow pointing to it), next step is remove the movement, then you have full access to the dial.

I am about done with buying vintage watches, especially on- line. I have had problems with all 3 pocketwatches I have purchased. One I sent back for a refund, one was too expensive to repair. And the second- hand just fell off one I've only had a few days. It was supposed to have been checked over by a watch maker before I got it. Luckily I was able to get it back on without much trouble. Whether or not the second-hand stays on is a different story. Most watch hands bend very easy. Remember if you are trying to put one back find a place somewhere so if you drop the hand you can easily find it. It's hard to purchase a watch without personally looking at it first. Photos can be deceiving. They can be taken from alot of different angles to make it look perfect when it's not. You may think you got a bargain but find out different when you get it. Most of the deal is relying on what the seller tells you. Watch repair is very, very expensive and you could end up easily paying more money than the watch is worth. Quite a few watch dealers will not accept returns. So you are relying on what they tell you. You're the one taking a gamble.

my watch's hands are loose how to fix

Hi, thank you for your tutorial, i have a question for you, if the hands of the Watch move they move by themselves only by shaking the watch, how can it be repaired in this case?

[CollosalTrollge]

Okay so i see your second hand pops in that way, i dont know man, when i look or feel with the scree driver flat head on the minute hand, i can feel like a pin sticking out so i dont understand how to pop my second hand on, man i stuck now, i can try to attempt again, but i dont want to get too sad too quickly., flip man.
the hands are so tiny i would imagine using a tweezer is more irritating and it may even flick out and then u need to search the floor oh man that will be a pain

How do you actually remove all the watch hands?

[Normajeane]

there is another video by Spotlitemanic for that

i have a rolex, the seconds hand came off and none of the hands r moving under the crystal/glass, little circle things that go into the middle where the hands attach came off in it too, how do i fix it

[anamewithnoface]

I have big fingers, so i used the stem to move the hand into place, and my finger to get it into the little hole

Maybe you should do a video on how to use some nail clippers.

[CollosalTrollge]

I managed to come right, very tough to see though.I thkn a magnifying glass is a good investment

[markfisher]

it's really not a good idea trying to do this with big clumsy fingers! or you just get bent hands lol

[athenasword]

Thank you for the info but, with all due respect, it's off to the jewellers lol

[dfcvda]

perfect, the only tools are my fingers, oh and the prehensile thumbs..
