Donald SchroederElgin "Doctors" watch seconds hand.
Hi everyone, and thanks for having me. I recently picked up this beauty of a watch. If you'll notice, the seconds hand is short. Looking at it under a microscope, it appears the tip has been broken off. Just curious if anyone on here happens to have one lying around or knows someone who might. I have also found a guy that is willing to make one from scratch. His name is Denis at Carignan Watch Co. Wondering what everyone's opinion on that is? Is it worth replacing or having a new one made or should I just leave it as is?
