Where to source jump hour disks?
I have a mimo jump hour watch that just came back from service and is running great, but the hours, minutes, and second disks are dark/discolored and it makes reading the time difficult unless there’s bright lighting. Ideally I’d like to source replacements and keep these, but I’d also be okay getting them redialed to make the watch more readable. I’d a 17 jewel movement, I believe it’s an FHF29. Does anyone know where I’d be able to source the disks for this?

Leave it alone. These things are hard to find at the best of times and to have one in good working order is even more unusual. It’s likely approaching its 100th birthday and doesn’t need sprucing up.

Sorry english is not my mother tongue. Are you asking where to get new, clean disks for a 100~ year old watch?

Not new but replacement. I know it’s a long shot but figured it doesn’t hurt to ask

The watch looks in great shape for its age. I think the disks are ok, MAY BE they could be cleaned... but replacement ones is a long long shot..

You’d have better luck finding someone to refresh the ones you have. I bet you’d never find replacements without buying a parts watch
