Waltham A-17 Dial and Setting Levere Screw Source?


Recommended Posts

Good day.  I am working on a  Waltham A-17 wrist watch.  The setting works were one pile of rust, but the rest looks good.  I have sourced a sliding clutch, winding pinion (hopefully the A-11 is interchangeable) and stem.  I also purchased a setting lever spring which was supposed to fit but does not appear to (so I am hoping to use the original if I can clean it up enough).  Unfortunately the dial, besides probably having toxic lume, is pretty much beyond any kind of help.  Does anyone know where I might find a replica dial made with safe materials?  I also need a setting lever screw but am hoping to find in interchangeable one either in my parts box or ebay.

I have one.  Bought it several years ago but never used it.  Might have the screw.  Is it a 6/0 -D?

That looks like it.  Not sure how to determine if it is a 6/o - D or not.  Here is a Pic of the back of the case438827737_walthamback.thumb.jpg.8345f6020acfddf82240a310a82e3b14.jpg
