How to remove hands?

[JEKS]

Folks,

I have a watch that I would like to remove the hands from. Can anyone explain how a watchmakes would do this and what tools they would use? Additionally, what a enthusiast might use without damaging the hands, movement or dial. Do they simply pull off (pressure fit), etc... thank you - J

You need a tool that looks like this:

They aren't expensive. You can find them anywhere from eBay to Amazon.

Just reach in there and pinch em between your thumbnail and fingernail like I do! easy-peasy!

(of course you will need new hands to replace em with)
