Best of luck, Bob Frei doesn't have a great track record for customer service!

Like OS said, good luck.
Why did you need a 40 dollar measuring gauge?
Many a full time 'smith does not have one of those.

I have an old vintage watch that I am trying to find proper hands for. I don't know the hand size and need a means to find out when I finally get to this project.

In that case, ID the movement and doing a websearch will tell you the hands size.

It's a longines Czech air force. I did extensive research but could not find info on the movement and hand size. But that's not the point. The point is I paid for a hands gauge.

I'm glad we've got Cousins here. Their customers service is top notch.
And of course we've got Watchbitz :)
