Can anyone tell me if this is the correct dial for this movement? It has this same dial on it now with hairlines, and my customer just wants me to replace it with this one. I thought it went on the Lincoln type movements, but not sure. Thank you for any help. Regards, Larry | ||

In the photo-merge below we show a "red-dot" markers dial on top. But as Foster mentioned they are usually associated with lesser movements, often 17 or 19-Jewel 3 or 4 Position Non-Railroad-Grade.
