Odyseus 1 Posted July 10, 2014 You've probably snapped the second hand pinion, as it's very thin & fragile - I think most of the Big Pilots are fitted with a variant of the 2813?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSTEEL 0 Posted July 10, 2014 Take a close look at the hand itself, and see if the tube is still there, and if so, see if you can see through the tube with a loupe, if you can see through it, the tube that is, you maybe lucky. Check the movement, and see if the pinion is still present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
golddusterrolex360 0 Posted July 10, 2014 The upside is 2813's are abundant and cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livinglegend510 0 Posted July 11, 2014 looks like i broke the pinion..... :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted July 11, 2014 Agree, but it looks abnormally round though, and don't look like its sharp/snapped. You may of pushed the pinion too hard, and it may of gone through the gear holding in the gear train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
