Chronostop Roulette Hands Set - Hello everyone

Hexicon · Jun 20, 2021

Hope to find everyone well My first post in a while. Im getting my Roulette Chronostop 148.008 serviced but will need replacement hand set. Ideally the parts would be salvaged and show a little patina. But at this stage I'll take what I can get. I've had no luck online or found one red second hand at about $300, which I passed on.

Anyways, any information or pointing me in the right direction would be great.
Thanks and kind regards.

Why replace the hands? They don’t look too bad in the photo.

Hi

There was problems with the centers of the hands and a botch job was done in the past. I only found this out when it was in for an overhaul.

It depends on the issue but, it is possible to repair hands. If the pipes have split then there is a guy who will re-pipe the hands. If you're in USA, then he will be in the same country but, I am not sure he would appreciate me putting his name here. I've used him and was very impressed. You may find this easier than obtaining aged original hands.

Does the watchmaker have photos of the hands and what the issues are?

Cheers, Chris

Hi Chris

That's a great idea. Someone with the skills could well do that. I'll inquire with one guy I know in my hometown and see if he could fabricate them. If not maybe I could get your man's contacts by message.
Thank you
