Letter from International Dial:

I am writing this letter to inform our customers that International Dial is closing till further
notice.

This is a tough decision and I  am aware this will cause issues with our customers and their
customers as well...

Health isssues and staffing difficulties are the reason for this decision. I  have had a heart attack
and I  am currently recovering from that and the related issues that have arisen.

David has found employment in a different career direction and has left International Dial. This
has caused production to come to a halt and these issues combined have resulted in the
decision that I  have made. I am not currently able to focus on the long training cycle for any new
hires that would be required to establish the skill sets needed to produce quality dial refinishes.

My recovery is the priority now.

The other refinisher that exist and should be able to assist in your future needs are listed
below:   
L & S Dial in Los Angeles    web site info is    lsdialsca.etsy.com     ph- 213-627-3455
Kirk Dial in Kent Washington      no web site found         ph- 253-852-5125
M & G Jewelers of Rancho Cucamonga, CA  info@ mandgjewelers.com      ph-909-989-2929     
This company recently purchased Kirk Rich Dial and is now refinishing dials in its own production
facilities.   Kirk Rich Dial .... Ph 909 481 1949 or 760 843 3999        info@ krdial.com

I am working to return all dials that I currently have to their owners... This is to be completed
in the next couple weeks.

I again am sorry for the problems this has and will cause for you, This has been a tough couple
years and I wish you all the best moving forward .

                                               Sincerely,
                                                     Timothy G McMullen

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      @JohnR725 has pointed out many times that the Swiss don't care about amplitude, the timekeeping is the most important.  Give yourself a  pat on the back, great beat error and timekeeping, nothing to be disappointed about.

      I'm bothered but I agree he's a busy man and I don't want to bother him.  In the meantime, we really do need to have other ways of contacting each other

      Second hand watch market.

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      This is as complicated as epilame, too many unknowns. The life expectancy in the UK is circa 80, so most people from 1944 or earlier are dead.  Assume they had children at circa 20, they died in 2004. Their children started selling 1944 watches in 2004, so pre-1944 watches must be getting more rare.   It doesn't work though because as you stated some were sold as tat, but since watch prices have increased people have decided to sell when they may not of done in the past.

      Questions about my Bravingtons Renown Mantel Clock

      By Michael20 · Posted

      I was wondering whether anyone could assist with some questions I have about my latest acquisition, which is a two train ‘Bravingtons Renown’ mantel clock - Pics attached I have done some reading about Bravingtons and believe they sourced movements from various suppliers, so I wondered whether anyone recognises this one. I have stripped and cleaned the movement and the clock is now running well, but there are a couple of dodgy brass springs that I would like to replace. I haven’t found anything suitable searching the internet so I wondered does anyone know of a supplier that might help. Last question is about the veneer on the case, it is generally in reasonable condition but there are a couple of patches on the top where the veneer has lifted. So far, I have tried to reactivate the existing adhesive by heating from below and above with a hair drier, then clamping for a day or two. It has improved slightly but the bulge is still visible. I’d be grateful for any advice if anyone has dealt with this sort of repair before.
