    It sort of reminds me of people pay good money for a pair of ripped jeans.

    Originally it would have been held in with shellac. You need to use a heat preventing compound, if you decide to solder using an iron. To much heat and the dial will crack.

    Thats better. You should be able to unscrew it with a screwdriver that is a good fit. Here is a photo of the sort of tool.

    Normally its a center fixing nut with two groves to fit a key and you undo it just like a nut, Could you post a close up photo as my eye sight is not good.

    Watch dials such as this type can be cleaned with a clean pencil rubber.

    The top block will need to be filed out so the L shape is bigger.

    Here you are. You have three that will fit from my experience 27x5mm should be right, you will need to file it out a bit for it to fit, make sure it is free moving and so it doesn’t snag. Number 0299 000115 http://www.m-p.co.uk/muk/parts/suspensions.htm
