This would be so confusing for a novice. No image of the release lever and where to press the needle to get the crown out. Use a hand remover to remove hands, cheap enough to buy, not tweezers and a ‘jimmy tool’. No advice about protection on the dial to avoid scratches. ‘Place hands one after the other’, No mention on what to press them on with and how. This part could kill your movement if not done correctly. I have just removed the hands on my Invicta diver as they where not fitted correctly. Replacing them is not that simple without the correct tools. Even a cheap hand press does the job.
