I soldered the dial feet using my Dial Feet solder machine, basically a welder. You'll notice the file marks from removing excess solder so that the dial seats flush with the movement. I'm thinking a nice matt silver with either style of numbers in the following pictures... This one I had done with a Howard movement...I posted it here in a previous post. I like the font in this dial. It looks a little more elegant!

Well done Don - that is looking awesome!

These can be quite difficult to reassemble for someone who's never done one before...including folks who routinely take apart and reassemble watches :unsure:. Since this is basically a "Full Plate" design, almost every part has to be fitted at the same time. Lining up all the pinions in the holes correctly takes a lot of time to get them seated right. It's actually more similar to reassembling a clock movement than a watch movement, as most watch movements have some sort of bridge or 3/4 plate design. This allows for assembly in stages an not all at once.

i am going to practice on my bracelet before i have a go at my customers watch......good thinking on my part....
