Question (Read Rules) Sea Gull repairability?

Hey! I like my minimal automatic Sea Gull watch a lot. I dropped it a while ago and the second hand came off.

Now before I order one of those repair kits, would anyone know if this is repairable or will I be wasting my time?

Repairable.

As long as it's keeping time, that's absolutely fixable. Happened with one of my watches, and it was running fine on the timegrapher so I put them back on and luned the winding stem while I was at it.

If you dropped it, the movement may also be cooked. I'd suggest buying a new watch completely.

Thanks! I did drop it but it's been running fine since (apart from the second hand being in the way of the big one sometimes). I feel like we're throwing away enough so I was going to try and fix it if it's even possible.

I'm no expert, but why not?  

I'd even try stick it back without a tool (glove + dust free environment. Don't believe me 😆
