    Hello,

    I have a beautiful Longines 13zn chronograph, but unfortunately the dial and hands have been refinished in the past (in a bad way). It is impossible to find an original dial for this watch, therefore I am searching for a dial expert who can refinish the dial (and hands) in the best possible way. Any tips on dial experts?

    Regards,
    Fred

    There's a dial listed on an on line auction, today. If it's original (I have now way of knowing), a picture of it might help to get your dial looking right. The vendor thinks it will bring ~ $900.00! FWIW.

    It's Ok to mention Ebay, Craig's list, Watchuseek, Onthedash, Timezone, Chrono24, Rolexforums, Watchrecon, your Aunt Mabel - anyone who is selling a watch. You can mention prices. You can even link to auctions.

    Of course, once you've done that, you can count on half the watch world knowing about the auction. Caveat poster.

    Why would anyone want to put a large picture of fish eggs on their wall? ::screwloose::

    Thanks for the tip, but I am not sure the dial is original and I need 33mm.

    Aunt Mabel is a good source for vintage.
