I haven't bothered to ask if old stock dials are available for these and if so, how prohibitively expensive are they?

You can find dials from time to time but they'll be very expensive. Only worth doing if he were planning on keeping the watch and wearing it, in my opinion

Thanks for that link @Mark020

Thanks @abrod520. I thought this would be a situation where the parts would be more than the whole, but held out hope that there were dozens of these dials just laying around

Is anyone doing really good dial refinishing for these?

He does have an interested party within the motorcycle group he rides with. By the sounds of it they're planning a trade for the watch in exchange for bike parts.

Not as far as I know. But better than the current one should not be that hard ;-)
