    Hoping a resident expert here might know the length of the minute hand for a 1016 with gilt/chapter ring dial (with exclamation point).

    I currently have replacement hour and minute hands on the watch and am trying to source originals. However, the minute hand is longer on the chapter ring dial than later 1016s and so I’m looking for a measurement I can confirm with a seller before purchasing to ensure the hand fits (I.e. reaches the chapter ring).

    Thanks for any assistance!

    Maybe you can measure the distance from the center to the chapter ring ?

    Crystal is domed, and we’re dealing with a mm here or there making it less exact measuring through the crystal, so was hoping someone may have this info from past experience.
