Hi there,

Just checking if I could purchase a second hand dial arrow only as mine was received in not a really good condition. So I could send to my local watchsmith to change it.

Is it possible to change or better not to?

If yes, who can i look for this parts?

It's possible to change, if your watchsmith has the skill to do it and you have the parts. If you got it from the TD directly, you could ask them to send you the parts needed for the repair instead of sending all the way back to them for the repair.

Do u have contacts for what u mentioned "Goin?"

And just to check, if I send it to watch smith to replace second hand dial arrow. Would they need to dismantle to whole watch including back-case movement?

Or they will just simply remove the front case glass?

With the right tool it's a 5 mins job. You just have to take out the stem, flip the movement and de-case it. I just use a bergeon dial protector to lift the seconds hand to remove it. Install back everything in reverse order.

I can do this but I'm in east MY, Kuching.

Ooh thanks for offer. Yup I know it's a easy job but I'm know nuts about this, I prefer a local watch smith and can just walk up to him and repair it within 10mins..

Really appreciate your help, cosmicgate.

I had mine, just waiting TD to send over, so I could visit my local watchsmith.
