Hi there, I've got a gen 1655 movement and need to get some center seconds hands for it. A seller told me that tube length is 1.5mm for 1575 GMT, and 1.8mm for 1570 GMT conversions. Assuming i have a genuine 1655 movement (i believe it is 1575 GMT movement, even though the engraving says 1570) Any advice? Or should I just get 1.8mm just in case, and shorten it as needed? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the knowledge and the link! I would have not found esslinger if not for you Cheers!

Hey @automatico Loving your threads... !! I have a franken with gen mk1 dial that is missing the seconds hand.... Couple of questions: 1. do you have a link of "plug and play" straight seconds hand that is same as original? 2. what are the specs? i.e. tube diameter / length? I've been searching but not sure which search term to use... most of the "straight" seconds hands I've seen aren't exactly the same as gen (tapered, different proportions etc) For example this one on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/201020525701?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110013%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIMRXI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D256454%26meid%3Df6d58ed81ecd464e9858373523e43080%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D11%26sd%3D125128804918%26itm%3D201020525701%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DPromotedRVIPbooster%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p4429486.c101196.m2219&amdata=cksum%3A201020525701f6d58ed81ecd464e9858373523e43080|enc%3AAQAIAAABAJsbtOKd5uIU0OgsJNCgXCPpbiXLSDbGu8lyFnuVypcyLLplowGBFD52tEZQRvGaDs7owvm7dxrvq0EilbyQQrIBdpEp9TJK8Wb6G4Svf9tipRs8RlrbkD6FWKdiEsFpgaxgaMnzaJ2HHz0sSyUgLRLJrNfMPhVP7yGD75p8OkOvrdBH8lht89%2B%2BFEr6RVsKui0C0R2Kq4y0yXq%2F%2FX%2FuFEhj98IO2eHK8TQYOd1708hRpSktk%2Fz8eIn9a5iD3Zc5CDyQyg7f4WIUUGuIb19xy%2Bv%2BcNO1U0Q7zVAqeGb8D7n5iGjseVXVZCi7QI4JgYKus2Z1QrODwJzG%2FSc0IBKAcPM%3D|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A4429486 The short end is tapered, and the "circle" around the axis looks smaller than gen version, so not quite a match. Thanks!
