I'm looking for a model 92 dial and I'm having a heck of a time trying to locate one. I have a pile of other 18s dials if there is someone willing to trade. I'll take a metal or enamel. Dial feet are located at about 11:30, 7:45 and 3:35. The metal dial I've got has such a patina that it's beyond repair. I'd prefer an Arabic dial if I have the choice. Please have a look and shoot me an email at dave@lastwindup.com
Many thanks, Dave

Dave,
Waltham didin't make that many HC Model 1892 movements, so original dials can be somewhat hard to find, especially in good condition.
If your original dial is just badly discolored, and not bent or goughed up, having the dial refinished might be all you need. I have had dials that were almost unreadable and black with tarnish come back looking very nice.

Thanks for the tip Ed. I thought about doing that but I wasn't sure if Kirk did dials like this. Also, it is an open face dial. I'll keep looking for a good replacement for the mean time. If all fails, then I'll have it refinished. Thanks, Dave
