    These are impossible to find but with a little patience, it is possible to turn a micro tube from brass, drill it (0.15 mm) and solder it on to a very similar pattern hand ...

    Anybody pick this one up? It went quickly... I can't tell if its the same as for the 281 or not, it mentions the Cal 1-69 in the listing and also 'sub' in the title. I think we've (@Diabolik) discussed this also being correct for some of the polerouter sub's, but not sure if it's the same dimensions as for the one for the tri-compax. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Uni...949019?hash=item465b44d79b:g:mtgAAOSw-0xYYzHaPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I can confirm that it is correct for the 281 caliber UG tri-compax moon. I purchased on myself and it fits perfectly. BEWARE when fitting as pinion is quite fragile (only 0.17mm) and brittle. Excessive force will snap it and that will cost you mega $$$ !

    Fitting second runner hand is probably best left to a watchmaker.
