Lorne Wasylishen1883, 1892 Dial Feet Location
Quick question. Are the dial feet locations on an 1883 and an 1892 the same?

Theodore J. Brown Sr.Hi Lorne, unfortunately they aren't.92 models have their own pattern.I had a mint dial from an'83 model and tried to use it on a '92.I knew the feet would be wrong, so I cut them off to use glue-on replacements,but found that the center hole to second hand hole measurement was a little off too.Nice dials for 1892 models can be hard to find.

David AbbeLorne, I MUST add the the center to center dimension from the Center dial hole for the Hour Hand and Minute hands to the hole for the seconds hand arbor are also very different between the models 1883 and 1892.
