Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone knows if the correct pink gold sweep second hand for this 14902 is still available? and if so where could one try? I have sourced the crown, just needing the second hand.

Many thanks,
Dan

I have seen guys buying yellow hand set then had them dipped in 14k pink gold.

I did this with the hands, crown and buckle on a Seamaster Calendar some years ago.

It has aged very nicely.

Am i right in thinking that handsets only include hour and minute, and not the second sweep?

Cousins seem to list a lot of hand sets, but no photos.

Don't suppose anyone knows the length of second hand I need?

That is correct. Seconds hands are generally sold separately.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

Hi Al,

Any chance you know if this hand will be correct for a 14393 5 SC too? The one my watchmaker got for my watch is too long and he claims the shorter ones is not available anymore.... Watch in Q.:

Thanks,
Paul

Yes, the Extranet calls for the same hand on that one.

Cheers, Al

Very nice, not sure I've seen that reference with black dial before, if I have, still very rare piece.

Thanks Furze. Yes, I believe it's quite rare. I'm not a big fan of gold capped models, but this is a keeper.... 😀

I agree, I prefer either stainless steel, or solid gold, but would have make an exception too.
