Getting original dial after RSC replacement

I bought a gold 18238 that recently just came back from RSC. They replaced the dial with a service dial, and I’d like to go back to the original, deeper champagne colored stick dial (with T) that it came with.

Whats the best way about getting one of these dials? eBay? Elsewhere? I want to guarantee it’s original.

In the US and they probably ship internationally, first class dials. They sell through their site or eBay. Nice guys.

Perfect. Just bought one from there now. Exactly what I was looking for. Already en route to me.

I have no experience with them, but I was able to infer that a vendor was named in post #2 if you read it carefully.

Sorry, my post was not clear. CTech posted their link, they are based out of LA and have a lot of dials and other parts. They had the exact dial he was looking for at a fair price.

Yes, First class dials has been around forever. They are hit and miss. Sometimes great inventory and other times no prime pieces.

I remember when their web page looked like it was from 1999 and designed by a 5th grader.
