Can someone help me with this pocket? It is a 21J/60hr/#5128067-not Elinvar- piece that has a dial I've seen before but can't verify as time appropriate...Please excuse a new guy's lack of knowledge here,but I can only find satisfying info on the"black arrow" dials and this one has red dots...I sure hope I've supplied enough info tell get an answer from someone! Sorry no pic's yet...- Marty

Marty,
According to Meggers and Ehrhardt's Illinois book your 21 jewel-60 hour Bunn Special is a Type III and 86,000 were produced. It is a model 14, circa 1928, and was cased at the factory. Most were sold with double sunk dials just marked Illinois. Without seeing a pic of the dial I hesitate to make any remarks.

Thanks Tony-From what I've been able to pick up, dials with red five minute dots are not time appropriate for 60hr.Bunns-only the black arrow or triangle markers were factory made...But I know better than to trust ONE info source alone;it seems there is almost always room for exceptions with these pockets...I'll keep learning!

Remember too that in the life of these watches the dials, cases, hands, and some parts were replaced and shuffled around like tires, and sparkplugs on a car.

It is difficult to tell without a picture, however if it is the dial I am thinking of- it has been replaced. The dials with the red dots- instead of arrows, are typically found on many in-expensive Illinois movements.

Thanks all! - Marty
