Illinois 16s Canadian Cased with odd 24 Hr Dial "Click" to Login or Register

I bid this (no other bidders) from eBay specifically due to the dial catching my attention. This is the only double sunk 24 Hour dial I have that has the 13 - 24 on the outer chapter, leaving a very small inner chapter.

Am I missing something, or is this one of those "senior moments! Anybody?

The 15 Jewel unadjusted design is a fairly "pedestrian" true bridge mdl 7 Movement, but the dial is (to me) a less common type.

David, I am not sure what you paid but sometimes you see strange bidding habits on ebay. Nice watch and enjoy the win!!!

Dave,

Looks like we have a match....mine is on a 19 jewel Bunn and the numbers are a bit bolder. Also has an 18 in the seconds sink.

Steve, I just finished cleaning mine and am sure the seconds chapter was replaced, seeing yours confirms that. However while your hours are the same even up to the "clipped heel" of Hr 22, your dial does not have the red five minute numerals on the outer chapter art.

The sales dept at Illinois must have had "daily Brainstorms" to do all the variants they turned out.
