Dial
The dial is the visible face of the watch, displaying the hour markers, branding, and other indications such as date windows, sub-dials, or scales. It plays a major role in the character, readability, and value of a timepiece. Dials are commonly replaced or restored when damaged, discolored, refinished, incorrectly fitted, or needed for a specific restoration project.
