Hey all. A few days ago I proudly posted this watch.

Well it turns out, NOS is another man's version (mine) of a nightmare. While I try to find and deal with the buyer, who conveniently does not answer his email, I hope someone can help me deal with the basic problem. This watch has the movement removed out the front. It turns out though, that someone (?) used silicone or other gooey stuff to seal the dial. That stuff has now dried and refuses to let the dial/movement come out. Has anyone encountered this before? Perhaps there is a trick? Be careful out there. Thanks Bill

 

Yikes, I hate hearing horror stories like this. I hope you get this resolved.

 

Excuse my ignorance, but is the missing minute hand a feature of this model?

 

You can just see the hour hand peeking out beneath the lume of the minute hand.

 

Sorry to see this stuff happen - there is no easy solution here, so the only real one is a refund...

 

Thanks, I was thinking a longer minute hand was missing.

 

I thought as much Al. Time will tell. Regards
