Evening All! I usually spend my time over in the Omega section (generally more across on the MWRForum). I recently picked up some bits and bobs from a watchmakers (Fresard), including some dials. Most of them look fine however this 'COMPAX' dial doesn't look right to me (apologies for the skew-whiff photographs):

What are people's thoughts? Mine is to stick it into the back of a drawer and forget about it...

I don't know if you are trolling or not...

With a blank dial and some arts and crafts supplies I think I could produce a better dial in an hour or so.

My suggestion is to smash it with a hammer to ensure that no one gets snookered.

hope you got some other good stuff in your haul!

Cheers, yup, fortunately I got some actual decent stuff from them including a NOS Chronosport UDT PVD watch case and a few NOS Gruen Pan-Am movements (complete with dials and hands).
