The time/tide clock mechanism is working well so far (it's only been a week). The hour and tide hands fit well on the shaft but the minute hand flopped around on the end of the shaft as it wasn't tight enough to sit there securely without the nut (I was using a second hand as well so the nut could not be utilized on the shaft). I had the set of hands from the mechanism I was replacing and they did the job for me. Since the hands came free with the mechanism and I had a spare set available, it wasn't a big deal. However, if I hadn't had the spare set I would've been in a bit of a bind since I would have had to have re-ordered hands and the shipping costs are too prohibitive for the value of the hands. There is nothing in my neck of the woods that is available to purchase otherwise without having to order online. Good customer service. I'm pleased to have found this supplier.
