Hi everyone a have this movement miyota 2305 the dial feet are broken and I'm now looking for a new dial but a can't find any dial wish word fit this movement what options do a have?

Hi,

 it might be possible to get many dials to fit that movement however you might have issue fitting the dial into the case. You might try using adhesive dial dots and reuse the dial you have.

Hi Murks  there are several options , 1. resolder the dial feet back on      2. use stick on dial feet (available from Cousins)  but that requires milling a seat for the head before glueing.     3. use dial dots (little double sided dots ) to secure the dial (also available from Cousins).  The dial dots are the quickest solution providing there is enough clearance.  Spec sheet enclosed.

Good options here Murks from best to least effective, longest to least lasting  and from most difficult to easiest. If its your own watch you could start from the bottom and see how you go.

Hi Murks  If you want to re-solder the feet back on  you could build your own machine for a few dollars,  Look up on the net "Watch dial resoldering machine by Dirk Fassbender" or the book "Retrofitting when there is a need"   by Wesley R Door,   for more instructions.    I have built one and it works very well and is quite simple to make.

hi everyone how do a find out what dial can fit my watch movement? sometimes a can't  find  a dial fits my caliber.

If you go here: https://www.jewelerssupplies.com/shop-bin/sc/productsearch.cgi and enter "watch dial" you will get 36 pages of with some dials.

If you enter "watch dial" on eBay you'll get 31,000+ hits.

Aliexpress also has dials.

Usually you'll need to know: the inside diameter of the case (where the dial will fit) as well as the movement complications (does the movement have a day/date, sub-seconds, chrono accumulator dials, etc...). If you are replacing a dial, you ought to be able to specify the brand/model. If you are customizing a DIY watch, you ought to be able to find something on eBay or on Cas-Ker in the above link based on your case diameter and the movement you're using.

Your Miyota quartz movement costs $12. Did you just buy the movement or did it come inside a watch you may have purchased? It might be easiest to just purchase another (similar) watch.

There is no secret place for parts, including dials. Do not expect to easily find dials for vintage or not widely sold mov.ts. However if all is wrong is the dial feet position you can fit new feet:
