When replacing an enamel or porcelain dial that is pinned, how do you do it to make it stay without causing hairlines or worse?
Thanks.

I'm guessing you don't have the pins. If that is the case you can purchase Brass and or steel pins. You might have to install them in a pin vice then file them down. Then trim them to fit. Hence the word Watchmaker.
