Remove the Hands

An inexpensive hands remover should be purchased to remove hands properly. It is a pressure fit that holds hands firmly in place over their respective post.  There is a Hour post (a post in a watch is usually called a pinion), a Minute hand post, and a second hand post.  The diameter of the hole in the center of the hand is just microns smaller than the post that it fits over.  This pressure fit is what holds it in place.  Like the force that holds a cork in a bottle.  No screws, No glue. A hand pulling tool grabs under the hands and

then sets down little feet on the dial for leverage. When you squeeze the tool, the grabber pulls off the hands with no damage to the dial.  You can try prying them off using a jewelers screwdriver, however, PRACTICE on a cheap watch, before doing this on a better watch... (better yet... order the hands puller).  The screwdriver will leave small scratches on the dial, so you'll want to use a piece of paper to protect the dial when prying.  I use a piece of paper even

when using the hands-pulling tool just to keep the dial looking perfect. What you can do with the paper is to cut a line in the paper and a tiny circle cut out at the end of the cut.  Slide the paper between the dial and hands.  This will expose only the hands, allowing you to work without damage to the dial.
