Celluloid dial has faint signature, many fine circular scratches. Complete. Runs ans stops. Sold as is. I'm having a tough time figuring out the dial for the worm drive watches. It appears that some if not all of the early version I have documented. Starting at Sn17911 have a celluloid dial. These dials were used on other manufactures with out much success. They can warp. Fade, or in general just deteriorate. Hamilton had similar problems with some of their celluloid dial. I have documented 7 worm dials. Starting at Sn17911 to Sn33976. I am thinking the earliest ones my have had the celluloid dials. Using other New Your Standard dial is no easily done. Due to the 2 pin centrifugation of the worm drive movements. When you look at the dial image of this watch. Note the 2 holes for the dial feet at about 7 and 11 hour marks. All of the sz18 New York movement I have. Use the 3 pins for dial feet.attachments. And none of the other sz18 will line up to the 2 pin configuration of the worm drives. Yes the pins can be ground off and pins attached. But, that is not a easy task. So, I think at some time Standard gave up on the celluloid dial and made enamel dial. And must have provided spars to the watches that had failed celluloid dials. Since the celluloid dial were failing. Just my thoughts. Good luck with the pocket watch hobby. pocketwatch101 |
