Recently i put a post looking for clock faces and needles.As have a number of them,all badly faded and needles broken.I did contact Pistol Pete,but he wants me to send the clocks.Then i read that a member had them done and they had bubbles.Here i also experience a few bubbles when i have the faces made by a graphics shop.
It would be best if i can get the correct faces for all the three clocks,with the needles and maybe the outer rim too.Nippon Seiki made the clocks and still do make.However they do not even get back to my messages.So is there any member in contact with Nippon Seiki? Or are there any members also interested?
Any member in contact with Nippon Seiki Co Ltd?

Hate to throw water on your effort, but I think you're wasting your time. They would not tool up again to make the complete face for something they made 35 years ago, for hundreds of them let alone a few dozen. Best thing out there right now are the appliques, they aren't perfect and many do bubble, but as of now there's no other choice.
