Rich KuhnI need help identifying this dial? Answer: Eaton
The dial appears to be 18 size with three dial feet. The dial feet are at 7 minuets, 25 minuets and 50 minuets respectively.
I was going through some parts bins and came across this. I have no memory of buying it so I think it came with some lot I bought a long time ago. The dial is double sunk and soldered. It is perfect condition however I have no idea what it goes to. I looked at my dial feet location guide and spoke with Lindel so he could check his. So far no joy, it is possible that it could be Swiss or English however the dial looks totally American to me.
I hope someone can identify this one so we might find it the correct home.
The third picture shows the back with the minutes marked by the feet. I have since taken those marks off.

Ed UeberallRich,
Terry is right on the money, the "E" inside a diamond is the symbol for Timothy Eaton, Ltd., which was one of the largest department stores in Canada.
Many of their private label watches were made for them by Gallet in Switzerland. These dials used three dial feet. I don't have a loose dial available at the moment to check the foot location, but Gallet is the most likely candidate.
