Thank you all for your replies!
Unfortunately the dial size must be from 26mm to 27mm. That is what the case accepts. Helenarou dials are too big, as are most I can find on eBay!
I have not checked etsy yet, I will have a look now.
The newolddials is a possibility, although having a real pocket watch dial would make it a bit "cooler " I think!
@AJ, a custom dial would be awesome, but I'm looking to keep the cost down for this one. I will PM you if I decide to do a fully custom watch.
There are a few dials that have the correct size, but my main concern is the sub-dial position. So my question is, is the distance of the seconds hand always the same? No mater the movement? If I get an old Elgin or Hamilton dial, will the holes overlap?
Thanks again for all the help guys!

I think most pocket watch dials are going to be way too big.
Although, you should be able to find some standard dials in that config.
There should be a list of suppliers around here or is that another forum or two?
Thanks for your reply. I know most dials are in excess of 42mm, but it seems plenty of smaller ones were made also.
I haven't managed to find a good selection of white dials online, or on any forums. There are plenty of black military styled dials available, but not many white ones...
Also, a reason I wanted an old pocket watch dial is the name on it. I like sterile military and pilot watches, but no so much on a marine watch.

Hello all,
I hope someone can help me with my project. I have decided to build a marine-style watch, using a pocket watch dial.
Here are some watches I found online, that illustrate what I’m going for:
The parts I will be using are:
-Style #10 case from ofrei.com, which is the 41mm case to be used with ETA/Unitas 6498
-Unitas 6498
-A white pocket watch dial (preferably signed)
-Blue hands
So everything is easy enough to source, apart from the dial. The dial needs to be approximately 37mm, and have the correct position/distance for the seconds hand.
Any advice on sourcing a suitable dial?
Any help is much appreciated!
Best,
Andrew

Great stuff!
What spring bars?
in The Rolex Area
Posted
Greetings all,
I recently bought a gen Tudor Prince Oysterdate. It's still in transit, but I need to source a pair of spring bars before it arrives. It's a ref 9052, 34mm, presumably 19mm lugs.
So, where can I find gen spec, 19mm spring bars?
Thanks!
