Ernie LogaFancy South Bend Watch dials
I had a new experience this weekend. I attended a Studebaker Zone Meet and there were several watches entered for competition. The judge also brought about 8 South Bend Watches with fancy dials. During my conversation with the judge, a watchrepairmen from the Twin cities, we raised some questions. On which grades did the South Bend Watch Company put the fancy colored watch dials on? Of the 10 or 12 watches present with fancy dials there were no more than two of the same grade. Does anyone have an answer?

Ernie LogaThanks Lindell, that makes sense. Most of my fancier dials in my collection are on even numbered grade watches.
However not all of them are in ornate cases.
