Uses

- Conversion work — mounting a dial to a movement it was not originally designed for
- Watchmaker stock, repair bench, horology students and hobbyists
Dial feet are soldered or spot-welded to the underside of the dial using a dial-foot soldering machine or a low-temperature solder. A little dressing with a file brings the shaft to an exact fit — brass machines cleanly for this.
Why Brass, Not Copper?
Brass dial feet are harder than the cheaper copper variants sold in bulk assortments. They hold solder better, resist deformation when seating the dial, and are the traditional choice for quality Swiss-style repair. If you have had copper feet bend or snap during fitment, you will notice the difference immediately.

Measuring Your Existing Dial Foot
Use a digital caliper on the broken-off stub to read the shaft diameter. If the original foot is missing entirely, measure the hole in the mainplate the foot seats into — that hole is usually 0.05 mm larger than the foot.
