I opened this one up as the Elemex 3D44 movement inside had died. While I had it apart I was cleaning it using my mild solvent of choice - isopropyl alcohol. To my horror, the printing on this dial turned out to be soluble in isoprop, which surprised me no end, and left me rather annoyed! The dial is 30mm dia with Roman Numerals, does anyone know where in the UK I might be able to get a replacement at a reasonable price? Thanks Dave

The main problem I have with this black dial version is that the lume was not great when I got it, and now 14 years later it is not any good at all. Problem is that I'm a bit scared to try to re-lume the numerals on this, as I suspect I wouldn't achieve the quality standards that I would want. Also if I can find a yellow dial... Can any of you experts offer guidance on who can do an awesome re-lume job on these and what the likely cost would be? Thanks Dave

OK, I goofed when I was disassembling and missed exactly where a spring ring went. Here's a picture with the movement with the face attached, the spring ring and the large clamp ring: Does the spring ring fit between the back of the face and the large clamp ring - that's what my logic is telling me, but ... Thanks in advance Dave
