Correct second hands for Smiths / Empire pocket watches
Hi, I'm trying to find a second hand for my fathers Smiths pocket watch. Its one of the standard no jeweled versions for the 1950s.

Would love to know what size I need to look for when search for a another one.

regards

I just sold this one last month, but you can at least get a good view of the seconds hand . . .

I've got a Smiths. I think it's 16s and is complete with a mangled hairspring. I'll see if I can get the shovel and dig it out. Might need to tear the house down just to find it.......
I think it says Smiths Empire on the dial and is a very clean unit.

Stephen,
This is the watch I have. If you want it it's yours. All it needs is a hair spring.
