Yes its a really nice watch. I bought it about a year ago for wearing to work. I am an Analyst at T-Mobile and its nice having a 24hr dial for looking at system times
I love the dial!

Here is a Canadian watch I acquired recently. It is a 21 jewel Bunn Special 60 HOUR Type IIIA with a very nice Canadian dial. It is also encased in a Canadian made case making it totally appropriate for use on the Canadian Railways.

Hi all, this is my first post. This is my 1892 model Waltham CPR, one of a run of only 100, only CPR made for a hunting case, although this one is in an open face case of around the same period.

I just noted this forum and think it should be revamped and restarted. Here is a pic of my latest Gr. 349 with an Metal replacement dial, unfortunately someone put a Waltham second hand on it, which will be changed shortly. Bill

Bill, on restarting this thread, I completely agree. It is very easy to fall in love with these dials. We have at least two available right now in our members only on line auctions.
Above is the live link. What better time to join so that if you are not a member you may join now and participate to own one of thse beauties with the Canadian dials.

Here's one that I just bought this morning. It's a running Hamilton 992 dated from 1917 cased in a A.W.C.Co. Canadian made gold filled CASHIER swing-out case in good condition. The double sunk dial has two hairlines but is in good condition otherwise. It's obviously missing the bow, crystal, second hand and most of the hour hand. The stem is round for some reason and will also need replacing. It should be fun gathering the correct parts and should look really great when completed.

It's me again, here is my latest acquisition and what I consider to be quite a rare bird :a Zenith RR56. About 1700 were produced in 1956 for the Canadian Railways

Peter, nice watch , I really like the 992's, unfortunately I have no Cdn RR dials on them as yet although I have a couple of them. I really have to show my latest Cdn RR dial on my Hamilton Ball 999B. Bill
