I'd like to try and locate a NOS dial,or at least one in near new condition for my Waltham 21J Riverside Wind Indicator Serial No. 20314399. Ideally somebody who could also install it for me. Figure I | |||

Dave, If you are not successful in getting a dial, have you tried soaking the dial to get the dirt out of the hairlines. The existing hairlines don't look too bad to me. I have had success with dials like this by soaking them in Mr Clean overnight. When done, the hairlines are still there, but not noticeable because the dirt is gone. Tom | ||||

Tom, that's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. If I'm unable to find a better dial, I may give your suggestion a try. Thanks Dave Freeman IHC Member 321 | ||||

Dave Don't forget to remove the dial from the movement before you soak it to remove the dirt from the hairlines. | ||||
