I bought this 3/0 size Waltham on ebay and i need a better procelian dial ,,if anyone has one they would part with let me know, it would be great to have one with the red 12..

this one is in a rose colored 9 kt. dennison case.

Samie,

I do have this red "12" 3/0 dial, nice but with a couple of hairlines, which show up worse in the pic than on the wrist. Doesn't have the USA marking, which is appropriate for an English market Waltham.

I also have this one, which would dress it up considerably. You would need hands (which I probably also have).

Let me know if either of these interest you.

Regards,

Cary

Not a Red 12, but another alternative. A couple of minor hairlines. I haven't attempted to clean this one yet. I suspect the hairlines will disappear.

Really nice watch too! Would love to see more of the gold band that runs across the leather band.

Samie,

Your "Waltham U.S.A." dial being on a movement in an English Dennison case fits with my previous understanding. If I remember correctly that marking is only on movements intended for export.

Looks like Dave's dial may be the domestic version.

Samie, That looks Outstanding!

Of course, being female, I would have used the fancy one above, but the one you chose is really attractive.

Those gold bands are Wonderful! I love those, and I have not seen them before either. WOW!

I have noticed so many men using the fancy dials on Wrist Watches lately, so I was wondering if any of you have noticed it too?

Really Gorgeous, solid gold, with fancy dials!

Things do change!
