Keith KlimkowiczWaltham 12s Colored Dial?
Hi
I do not recall seeing to many 12s watches with colored dials. Is this dial more common then I think?
All comment welcome...

Ethan LipsigI am not sure what you mean by "colored dial." If you mean anything other than plain white enamel or plain white or silver metal with painted or applied numerals, I think "colored" dials are common on 12-size watches. For example, of my 23 Hamilton 10 or 12-size watches, 6 are "colored," i.e., not just plain white enamel or plain white or silver metal.
If by "colored," you mean a fancy enamel dial, they are less common on 12-size watches. I think this was because the heyday of fancy enamel dials was before the heyday of 12-size watches. For example, none of my Hamiltons have fancy enamel dials. However, among my Elgin 12-size watches, there are fancy enamel dials on a few, including a Grade 189, and a Grade 190.
