Does anyone know someone who makes porcelin dials?

Hi-

I have a beautiful 19-jewel B.W. Raymond up/down wind indicator, 18 size, running perfectly. It is, however, mounted in a small clock case and therefore has an oversize dial on it which will not fit in a pocket watch case. I have looked for over a year and cannot find one. Is there anybody left who still makes them, special order?

I would suggest you keep looking. 5 years or so is what it seems to take me to find a scarce part. These dials exist as loose items and you will eventually find one.

If you want a custom dial made, it will likley cost around $1,000 for a 4 part dial. It may not have the dead flat surface finish you are really looking for and it may be too shiney. Donze Cadrans is the only commercial source that I know of.
