Seconds-Hand Issue

Recommended Posts

OK so I bought a Hangzhou 6460 GMT movement as a replacement for my broken ETA GMT.

 

They say in their ebay ad “HANGZHOU makes the reliable 6460 GMT movement that is a clone of ETA 2836-2 GMT and a full replacement for SWISS MADE ETA 2836-2 GMT. Size and fitting is 100% accurate and it is a direct replacement. If your watch is broken or requires a new movement get this HANGZHOU 6460 GMT that will cost you less than a repair of your Swiss ETA 2836-2 GMT. You can even store your ETA 2836-2 GMT movement and use instead this reliable HANGZHOU 6460.

 

So I did the transplant of the movement into my GMT II case. Everything went well Until I tried to install the Seconds-hand. I just noticed the center pinion is not tall enough. So my ETA seconds-hand will not fit. So what can I do now? Either replace the center pinion or can I find a seconds-hand with a longer mounting sleeve? If so, who makes one?

Here is a picture of the Hangzhou 6460 center pinion. As you can see, the pin height is below the minute hand gear.

Thanks,
