    Hi ti all Longines aficionados,

    I am looking for a small sub second pink gold for my 1960 Longines. It houses a cal. 232.

    2 questions:

    - Does anyone knows length and hole size of this type of small sub seconds?
    - Where is the best place to look for it? I looked on Ebay and was not lucky.

    Thanks in advance for your responses/tips.

    The hole size you want is 0.20 mm

    Personally, I'd leave the blued steel hand because finding a gold hand to match the hour and minute hands exactly will be hard. As it is, it looks like it's original and it's blue for legibility. Change it, and it will look like the hand was lost and replaced.
