Prsist Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I have a 21j movt that I thought was slow, so I adjusted the regulator. It isn't slow. Sometimes the minute and hour hands do not move after I set the time, though the seconds hand continues ticking away. Francisco mentioned trying to press down the minute hand. I don't have a hand removal tool, what can I use in its place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but we must remember that you "vintigize" by placing your watches in the driveway and running over them with a truck for a few days!

automatico Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I use a Horotec hand press and it works fine. It sets the hand level and you can control depth if you are careful. First time a hand held press slides off the hand and scoots across a dial, you will wish you had one. It's handy. What more can I say? You can use a hand held press to tilt the hand if needed after mounting and a 4mm+/- wide strip of paper bent in a 'U' shape to lift hands for clearance...being very careful not to crack the luminous material.

offshore Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Well we have just purchased a large quantity of these- And Watch Bitz will have them available from next week.(In limited quantities) As a Swiss tool (9 X interchangeable tips) this sells at round $70 -$80, however we will have it selling at under $16.00! Thats for 9 various hand hole sizes including a blank for second hands. I have been using one for some time now...its a nice bit of kit, and super value for the money.
