This dial was tossed in with the pocket watch cases I received yesterday. The dial has a few hair lines and only 1 dial foot. Does this dial still hold any value? Thanks, Joey | ||

AS long as there are no bad chips or missing enamel the dial is acceptable for use, until you find that perfect one. Soaked in a cup of dish soap for a couple of days the hairlines clean up and become less visible. You really only need 2 dial feet and replacement dial feet are available. File as needed and use with a bit of epoxy. Dial screw don't have be tight: the dial is not going to fall off, tight enough so the dial doesn't rattle. Too tight dial screws stress the enamel and can cause hairlines. | ||||
