    Yeah, I know, hens teeth and such... Trying anyway:

    I am looking for a Longines cal 30CH chronograph dial for a ref 7414.
    Any condition will be considered as long as it has not been restored. Patina is fine.

    This is the dial design I am looking for:

    If you have one for sale, or leads on one (indexes can be swapped so steel versions can do) I would love to hear from you!

    !BUMP!
    It should be easier than winning The Lottery..... Not much response yet though. (Not from the lottery either, but at least I participate here!).

    If you find it, please use some of that luck to help me with the Glycine SST endlinks.

    30CH is hot and getting hotter. I am the fortunate owner of two. My steel has mismatched pushers and I can't even find those. I suspect even a parts watch is going to be expensive. Odds of finding a good dial to replace that lovely restoration you commissioned are long. Best of luck.

    Can't give up you know! :)
    But I am aware that it might be a lost case.:oops:
    And I live quite happily with the restored one I already have.

    Have you considered having new pushers machined? I know there are people out there that are capable of just that.

    I will need to do that. I may talk to RGM about it. It's a permanent member of my collection so I'm in no rush.

    It's not egregious. Just mildly irritating. Top is a replacement.

    Those pushers looks nice enough?
    How should they be?

    The lower is correct but the top is just a tad longer. Or vice versa.
    Easier to see in these pics. My theory is that there was a link between scuffing on that part of the dial and the replaced pusher. Hopefully this watch led an adventurous life! Modest pointed out a Matthew Bain reference to illustrate.

    Have you checked "standard Swiss" sizes?
    Perhaps you can find two that matches very closely?

    Good thought.
