Hoi, why there are many vintage watch with second hand replacement but correct hour and minute hands? Is that because second hand more prone to wear & tear hence more often replaced?
Rust? Yes. For some reason a lot of second hands seem to tarnish long before other parts. Got a couple watches that are otherwise mint except for a couple blemishes on the second hand. Weird, eh?
Well, there are two types of O in Chronometer in those 167005, 168005. Here they are and this They are all good.
Wow! I had never noticed that before. That second pic has the same type of wonky O in it as well. Thanks for the pics!
