High Cannon Pin 6497 Swiss

[bertieng]

If replace with the ETA high cannon pin and hour wheel onto the 6497 movement came with the rep, any mods on the hands needed to give the perfect fit?

Comments from members with the experience most welcome.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Can you explain in more details on exactly where the hands have to be grinded?

Or get the hands from Davidsen as well... he's got super lumed ones...

The tube on the underside of the minute hand need filing down to .44mm. I find that an emery board for doing your nails works very well and cheaper than a file!! The hour hand stays as it is.

Thanks Mark,

This may save me some money from getting a new set of hands.

Be very careful, the lume is like paper on the hands. One touch with the wrong tool and it will rip

Hi Mark,

Do you mean 0.44mm measure from top of the hand to the bottom of the tube? Or just the tube extrusion from the bottom measure 0.44mm? If it is the later it is rather hard to measure accurately.

Please kindly advise. Thanks.
