    Hello,

    I've recently bought a Universal Railrouter (pictured below) needing movement parts and dial refinishing as a project watch and would appreciate some feedback on who might be best to carry out the dial restoration.

    Unfortunately, whoever carried out previous work to the dial has paid scant regard to the original design and, with little chance of finding an original, refinishing seems to be the best option.
    As a guide to the dial printer I've drawn what I believe is the original dial design in CAD.
    Does anyone have experience of having someone accurately printing a dial to a custom design, hopefully for a reasonable cost?
    Any and all feedback/comments welcome and appreciated. Thanks
