I've never tried this and I am new to rep watches. I've got a 2836-2 movement in my Rolex Yachtmaster and just the minute hand is loose.

I can set the hour hand, the second hand ticks away fine.

Tutorials? I'd like to learn a little something? I might need some tools but that's fine.

By loose, do you mean floating around inside the case?
If so, this tutorial-------------->

http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/how-service-your-movement-tutorial-11086

shows you the steps you will need to follow to remove the movement and dial from the case....which you will need to do in order to re-seat the hands. The tutorial also outlines the complete service of the movement.....which you should not need to do. :)

If you follow the steps, it's not too difficult.

Just the minute hand is loose and it's NOT floating around in the case. It's just loose from the center mount [what ever it's called], LOL!

If its not loose or detached from the Cannon pinion then it may be that the C.P. itself needs tightening .
