Harry - Would love to go to the Lindell school of dial repair. Still a chicken little, or maybe still have a couple of close to mint dials tucked away to prevent learning the art of dial repair.
How close is your 942 in serial #?

Very nice Jon! I've found that a lot of dials have a problem at the lever. My 940 has got a chip starting there. I think it is because the lever snaps back with such a force that it chips the dial. I try to ease it back in gently. Brad

Jon, nice 942! Mine is SN# 178,964 and I've had it several years. You really don't see a lot of these on the sales block very often. Nice find and a keeper.

I replaced the dial with this one. I do not know if the script Hamilton is correct, or the script Hamilton Watch Co. It may be that this was a transitional period. Someone will know.

OK Jon, I do have a "full script dial" and so I should install it. My watches are mostly in Oregon and I'm in AZ. I do have a 943 that I bought from Tom Dunn. As you know, they are harder yet to find, and, a bit more dear!
