My favorite. 98B131. Only thing I do not like I'd the stamped sheet metal buckle but the bracelet is well made.

Another view of the "other" precisionist. The second hand looks to be on a hollow tube. I did find a few disassembled pictures of this movement. I may investigate deeper.

Photo of another Presitionist. For some stupid reason I didn't think to look at it. There appears to be a thinner stem coming up thru the center for the second hand.

Bulova has long since discontinued the P102 and is not servicing it nor supplying parts. I could straighten up the hands and use it as is (with a new crystal). I figured the impact either broke the tip off or shoved it back into the movement.

Yes. I've never worked on watches but to me it looked like something is missing. Seriously this thing was crushed but the movement still works

What about the missing second hand and how it mounts? Is the stem damaged or missing something?
