Last month I was very fortunate to pick up three dials and cal. 83 movements from original WWW military watches. They seem to be the original version of the dial (second track on the sub-dial), with at least one of them (the left one) likely to still be painted with the original radium.
I would like to try and restore these back to three complete watches, but I think finding the case parts and crowns will be an impossibility (?). I remember reading somewhere that IWC stock these parts, but I think if the watches went back to Schaffhausen then these dials would go in the bin and be replaced with the service dial. That is not really what I want. Do any forum members have any advice on what path I could take ?
