A very rare Hamilton dial
My Cushion B with the aviation dial came up in the rotation today.Other than the dial on Will Roseman's website, this is the only other one I have seen in 8 years of collecting Hamilton's.And here is what it looked like before I sent it to International Dial for refinishing.

Another Trivial Mystery Solved!
In the Elgin Service Manual, in the Parts section, there's a listing for 'Pinion, Cannon for curved or spherical reg. or flat Nite-Glo'. I could understand why you'd need a different cannon pinion for curved dials - you need to raise the hands farther to clear the higher dial center. But why use the longer cannon pinion on a luminous dial?Well, my question was answered when I looked on the back of what to all appearances were regular, non-luminous Dauphine hands. There was lume on the BACK of the hands. Presumably, this would cast light on the dial underneath the hand, and the hand itself would be a shadow in the middle of it. The reason for raising the hands is to have the light spread far enough to see.I think this explains what looks like diffuse radium burn on the dial of a Lord Elgin that Indyago posted. Regular luminous hands leave small, intense burns because they're closer to the dial, while 'Nite-Glo' hands would leave a more diffuse burn.

If you're thinking of brushing out PCL's.......
DO IT! It took me about a year to finally decide have it done. I only regret I didn't do it sooner. I highly recommend LA Watchworks. $90 + shipping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
