Even if it were a fake, and I don't know that it is, what movement receives a two post dial?

Phil
Two posts are seen on some european watch dials and not necessarily a fake .

My guess is that the dial was placed on a cheap movementwhich is meant to deceive others into thinking it is of higher quality.

Hey Phillip, Here is an example that I have. A Swiss copy of a Waltham model 57 keywind. 2 post dial,and fake jewels. I have had in the past several Swiss fakes,and also regular Swiss watches with two post dials. I have a Swiss chronograph now that has a 2 post dial. Also,early New York Standards had 2 post dials,and some Seth Thomas have 2 post dials. I have owned a few of those also. I think your dial came off something similar to this "Waltham" copy. I can't put my hands on them right now,but I have some similar dials to yours,and they were on Swiss watches,with fake jewels.

The watch that went with the dial on the right had 7 jewels,and was marked 21 jewels.

Some of the lesser grade Seth Thomas dials have two feet, at the 13 and 45-minute marks.

Phil, I have seen some New Hampsire Watch Co. Swiss "competition" Brand watches littered with little red glass dots and claiming many Jewels. I think one even has a mainspring.
