It's a standard dial for Hamilton from Helenarou. I have had this movement in another case earlier, but with the extraordinary help from Fizzzz it is finally home. Original hands and I have a plan for the final dial, after that I will leave it and let it live on.
Can’t wait to see what you end up doing for the dial.

Please tell us more about this plan
You know how it is, ideas and plans.....
I have been thinking veneer on a standard back dial, gold numerals and indices/dots on a silver dial, transparent blue on a highly polished silver dial with gold numerals and indices/dots, sunburst dials....it goes on.
I need to fulfill a few obligations before my conscience will allow me to start working on my own stuff.

Nice project!
and a lot of work too... but this wonderful 923 definitely worth it.
Most Hamilton dials are 0.45mm or more, so you'll have to sand a little unless you're willing to modify the bezel.
I like the idea of re-using the gold numerals and indexes, I'm sure you're able to drill these tiny holes, I wouldn't have enough patience (nor skill) to do so.
(I still have a non-drilled dial if you need)

Still have my place on your task list?

Yes, it has been hanging over my head for way too long and I am stuck with quite a few issues.

I sincerely doubt that an email will solve this issue, but I appreciate the offer.

No problem, how could you know. I am getting pretty used to this after more than ten years, so I try to make the most of it every day.
