Seconds hand fell out!

[starchyy]

The seconds hand just came off on my brand new 318. Every time I try to put it back on, it starts ticking fine, then after a little while, it falls off again.

Anything I can do to fix ir properly??

Gs hypercement very very sparingly, or a $10 set of replacement hands.

Yup, sounds like the hands are loose. You can crimp the cylinder a little before repressing the hand.

How much would a watchsmith charge to get this one (ballpark)? I don't want to ruin my watch (I'm not that astute at mods and stuff).

I have a set of 111 hands coming this week that I ended up not needing (thought I was going to need them to replace the low beat for a high beat in my 219). You can have them for the $15 I paid if your Conus.

it depends, simple fix for most watchsmith, it is a $20 job. Enterprising ones will probably charge you 50 bucks

Just brought it to my watchsmith, only $20 so not so bad.
