    All you need is a bezel, Bakelite insert, dial, hands and crown. Maybe a service?

    Agree. But that one just looked too close to the edge even for me. And I have rescued more than a few lost ones.....,

    Case and movement are where the value is, the dial is too far gone even for me!

    Im going for a rusty piece of junk. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In which case hes sporting a glass eye.

    So, we just need to step it back a little to find the upper limit for a "Kyle Dial"?

    Wonder if that's just a layer of dirt over a semi-decent dial? ::confused2::

    I believe the correct bakelite bezel in nice condition alone runs into 5 digits. The asking for this may not be as excesssive as we think then.
