Seconds-Hand Issue

[Aero_Dave]

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,
Dave...

I have not idea if they are even available, but if you find a GMT hand set with longer mounting tubes, please let me know. You may need to change the seconds wheel from your old movement.

Hi

You Can buy the second hand at cousinsuk. The height should be 1mm.

It Works with my hangzou 6460 movement.

The second hand that comes on Trevor's 1675 has a longer tube that comes out of the hand and it will work for this.  You might contact him at trevorwatch and see if he can source it.
