Stephanie O'NeilTwo tone dial pocket watches
Okay, since I started a thread on "two tone dial wristwatches, I just had to do the same in our "pocket watch forum".
I searched my P/W collection and came up with one I think is a two tone dial pocket watch. What do you think? Does this one count?
Any two tone dial pocket watches in your collection?

Tom HuberHi Steph, I'll add one of my Walthams. This one is also in an original two-tone case.

Jerry TreimanThe Illinois Watch Co. had a number of two-tone dials available. The attached image shows two dials as illustrated in a 1927 Illinois dial catalog (courtesy of our Jim Carroll). They also had many marvelous dual-finish dials - that is silver or silver-tone dials with etched or contrasting frosted sections.
