Welcome to the compulsion! I'm afraid there's little chance of an intervention, as this place is filled with enablers and addicts (and I mean that in the nicest way )
Funny that you should add South Bends, as I was just thinking that I need to get my hands on a Studebaker and South Bend sometime soon.

Well South Bends are a natural for me.. I grew up in a family of Studebaker car and truck owners. Here at age 22 I've owned nearly a dozen Studes myself, but sold the last one off a few months ago. The watches are a nice alternative, and don't take up nearly the space!

Honestly I would take the dial off your 227 and put it on your 229. The 227 would look fine with a standard double sunk dial while it is currently carrying a correct dial for a 229. I would have the case screw but am away for christmas right now. I will email you when I get back on it.
Thanks,
Jared

Jared, that is exactly what I plan to do; use the 227's dial on the 229.
If anyone has a suitable dial for a 227 they'd like to sell, I would be interested. I have a later "Studebaker" dial I could use on the 227, but I'd rather keep it authentic.
