WTB Sea Skate Dial in good shape

[Waynelacasse]

Wanted to buy, a Sea Skate dial (and hands if you have them) for a vintage Sea Skate. See picture below.
Are these things rare? I see plenty of Sea Wolfs out there, but I've yet to come across a Sea Skate.
Anyone have any great experiences getting these dials refinished? Pics if you have them please.
Thanks.

 Ok thanks. My watch guy can fix it, I just need to find someone that has a Sea Skate dial to sell. Anyone?

The suggestion being made is that maybe instead of asking your local watch guy to fix something conventionally using scrounged parts, you ask BWG if he can restore what you have, and if necessary, dip into his substantial stock of spares to replace just what's needed. He's quite good at making the old look new, and doing so at a very reasonable price.

Sometimes, you need a specialist.

Well said Rick. I have never come across a NOS Sea Skate dial. I need one too if you do.

I think that I could help you out with that one, working with what you already have.  However, just as Rick and Butch have said, I have never seen a NOS Sea Skate dial for sale (in 15+ years of buying Zodiac parts).  Like Butch, I wish I could find atleast one of those dials for my collection.  The no-line hands can be found, but a dial would be a real longshot.
