Robert V. JonesWhat is this dial for
I came across this dial and wasnt sure what it was used for or on what type watch. I looked at my list and could fine the feet pattern. The feet are at minute marks 18.5,36.5 and 52.5

Robert V. JonesI think the dial is to busy but figured it might be something special. Here is a picture of the feet

Robert V. JonesForgot to mention it measures the same size as a 18 size dial at 45.6mm and with three feet I assume it is American.

Edward L. Parsons, Jr.Taking a guess, it looks like a 24-hr dial to me, perhaps for a military or Canadian railroad watch.

Robert V. JonesI agree Ed and it would have to be for a watch like the 4992B that one rotation takes 24 hrs but I was wonder what maker of watch would it be for and was it a true military watch dial or for some other purpose.

Robert V. JonesDid they make a kit to change standard watches over to run 24hr for one rotation like they made the kit for the 4992B to convert them over to a 12 hour per rotation.

Lorne WasylishenI have seen that dial on a private label Rockford. If I can find it again I will post a pic.

Robert V. JonesThank you Lorne you are correct it is for a Rockford I just checked it against one of my loose dials. My chart doesnt show this feet location for a Rockford. Now I wonder if this has a kit where you can change the hour and minute wheels so it will run 24 hours on one time around.

Robert V. JonesOops I missed your link I see it now obviously they offer the kit or parts as the site is saying it has it. Thanks again

Robert V. JonesI got a couple emails showing interest in this dial has anyone seen what these bring I have no idea on value?? I dont want to give it away but yet I do not want to price it to high. I learned many many many years ago not to just take offers when I sold a like new B of LE movement/dial way to cheap by accepting an offer/estimate on value on someone I thought I could trust for a true value and made me sick after I found out the true value.
