I am sick to my stomach!

Last night I dropped the watch, the crystal came off as well as the minute hand, and I could not find the minute(large) hand.

Do you know where I can purchase a minute hand?

On the related, if one can be found, can anyone recommend a repair shop in the Philadelphia PA area?

Thanks SO much.

Not sure the size on that minute hand. Maybe afire can share some light on the size.

I did find some close matches. Nothing like getting a good snort of radium poking around in the tray.

Hands are 60/120. That's going from memory on a chart Mike posted way back on the old site, but I never forgot it and I'm pretty sure it's right.

Looool! How on earth did they do that. I lose coins and pens in my car, forever lost (or in the vacuum cleaner). Very Happy

Or socks that seem to disappear into the universe after putting them into the wash. ;-)

I recently got a new washer and dryer and was certain that when I took the old ones out, there would be a trove of single socks. Not a one. The mystery continues...
