Hi, I have a 1954 (approx) Seamaster Chronometer and it has an hour hand that has seemingly been bent and straightened in the past leaving it with a couple of kinks that direct sunlight picks out. I was wondering how easy it is to find replacement hands and, if they are available, what info I would need to provide and who to speak with. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Well you'll first need the calibre type and also the case reference. I know there are 34/35mm Seamaster chronometer references and also the slightly bigger 36mm 'jumbo' references. I assume ( I'm not sure ) that the larger cased ref's will have a larger diameter dial and therefore will need slightly longer hands.
Once you have the reference number, you'll likely be able to find the correct hands here: http://www.ofrei.com/page764.html
