Removing Hands


KB

Recommended Posts

When I don't have available void use or stung of a pin or the thin point of an scissors.

I succeed every time.

But practice is needed I don't believe that has never tried first succeeds in not making scratches.

@Thanks PETE for the help with my English

Ken,

They can be prised off with tweezer ends, but try cutting some thin plastic a bit bigger than the dial ( with a slit in it to get it over the dial and under the hands), before trying to remove them. At least then you won't do much dial damage, as you may need a lever under the tweezers. Alternatively, I can send you a set of hand removers down. ( My mate is here again tomorrow, and goes back next sunday/monday)( Mail/PM)

I have read that PAM hands can be lifted of the cannon pinion without damage by using a very flat (1.4 mm) screw driver tip. (be sure to tape off the screwdriver tip to prevent damage)

Quick question guy's has anyone successfully removed their watch hands without using the correct tool, if so how did you do it.

Thanks

Ken

Here's a related question: What do you guys use to set hands on Unitas movements? The typical tools are too small for those PAM hands.
