I have an old Waltham wrist watch and one of the diamond indexs fell off. Anyone know where I can source a new one? My googling has me all over from ebay to AliExpress but none of them are even close to sizing. I have the 10 o'clock position, but the top most 12 is missing. I measured 1mm x 2mm. It's for a manual wind Waltham cal 238 7Jewel. I can provide more pictures if anyones interested.

First of all, they are not diamonds. You are looking for a rhinestone. Check out hobby stores that sell beads and craft kits for fashion jewellery. You may have to but a baggie of assorted sizes from which you may find a match.

Why not buy another Waltham on eBay? They go pretty cheap.

Fully aware they're not diamonds, just didn't have the word on hand, rhinestone, thank you. 😂

I looked, just didn't find a similar dial with replacement Indecies.

You really have to respect a solid box of junk.
