I am stuck yet again 馃槄. This time it is the very end though. My hour and minute hands pressed on well but my seconds hand either immediately falls off or ticks for a few seconds and then droops down on the long end toward the dial. I believe that the hole on the seconds hand is probably worn out since the sweep second pinion is brand new I don鈥檛 think it can be that. Any idea on what I should do or where I can find a hand that will fit. I have been looking on eBay with very little results for seconds hands for this calibre. Thanks!

You may need to tighten the pipe on the hand. This can be done with a special tool as noted by Al. I'll try to find the post.
You can also use a lathe collect to compress the pipe.

To follow up with some additional information...

So sometimes you run into problems when removing or setting the hands in place. I just wanted to talk a bit about some of the more common things that you come across.

The first is a hand that is pressed on so close to the dial you can鈥檛 get a tool of any kind under it to lift it off:



So how do you get this off? Depending on the watch, you can often loosen the dial feet screws and gently lift the dial up, and in turn lift...

Thank you for the info, I appreciate it! I am most likely going to buy that tool and give it a try.
