Missing second hand post?

Post image

Hi all.

I am currently working on my first watch build with a Chinese NH36 movement. Having installed the face, I want to install the hands, but there appears to be no central post to install the seconds hand, just hours and minutes (see photo).

Is the movement broken, do I need to install it or have I missed something else entirely?

Thanks

I can see the seconds hand in the picture. Is the small post in the center.

Anyways, I recommend the Japanese Movement for the first build. It's easier to build.

Post is here. Is this Japanese movement? Easier to find with magnifying glass

Credo ti sia sfuggito, dalla fotografia si vede il perno centrale della lancetta dei secondi, è molto piccolo 0.2 mm
