Correct Second Hand on this Coathanger Seamaster?

Davidt

Does the tip look neat and properly finished? I’ve seen a couple of these where the tip has broken off

To me, these have a broken tip.

Another one that I found, and interestingly they're all non-date

I recently picked up the cal 552 (I believe) with the Coathanger "S" and just realized that the second hand doesn't extend all the way to the minute markers.

Without knowing the ref for sure, I did some searching on the Cal. 552 Seamasters and realized while some have the second hand extending all the way to the minutes markers, there are examples that came back like mine.

So is this the correct second hand on mine? If not, how hard is it to obtain the correct one?

Thanks!

Quite common for these to have broken tips so that’s certainly possible here. I’m not sure if this has been mentioned but just an FYI that your watch’s hour and minute hand have been relumed, so at some point, someone did attend to the hands and if the seconds hand was as oxidized, (or corroded, or whatever), as the others, it may have been replaced at that point

white hand(s) on white or silver dial 😲 : IMO mumbai-edition

Can you explain a bit more on this? Is the lume supposed to be yellowish for the age?

Fallout Boy

The issue is not the lume but the lack of contrast : complete white hands over white surface. A challenge for your eyes.
Would Omega do this?

PlainVanilla

Silver hands on a silver dial is the most mundane thing on Omega watches.

I am talkling about "white on white"
