Great video! One question - I've had problems with placing the seconds hand on movements before. I do well on hour and minute (they are a lot larger), but the seconds hand is downright tiny, and it's very easy to *just* miss the right spot for it. Any advice?
Heh. I think it took me about three sessions of about ten minutes each. The trick for me is to do it by feel. I put the hand on some rodico and eyeball it centered, then move it back and forth and side to side. You get a bit of a feel for the sides of the tube bumping over the seconds hand pinion😃. Honestly I watch some of the really skilled TH-cam watch guys and am in awe of how fast they seem to do this! Main thing is to relax, have fun, and avoid forcing anything. If you feel you are getting frustrated just put it all aside and try again later 😜👍🏽

Yeah, the seconds hand is the biggest challenge by far for beginner watch builds…
