Mark, Thanks for the welcome, the compliment on the watch and for the offer to keep an eye out for a dial. I have looked but to no avail. The dial on this was so poorly done. It almost looked like it was hand painted, sub-registers were off center and off scale and no logo. Deplorable really, but I knew that going in, and knew it would lbe a good candidate to try and get back into "fighting" shape. Richard Awiza from RA Time did a really nice job with the restoration and it's a fun watch to wear now....almost looks NOS. Love this style with the oversized sub-registers from the 40's. I'll try and find some "before" pics. At any rate, yes please do keep me in mind should you see a vintage black dial!!! If I update post with more pics I'll let you know. Thanks again for your kind words. Jeff
