Bought a Angelus 8 days alarmclock for about a year ago and I know that the dial is in glass and broken.
I think that if I search a little on the www I will find a new dial somwhere, that was what I think.
The www didnt think like me!

I contact Jürgen S-Parts and ask him if he have some idea and he told me that he can made a new dial in brass instead for glass and I think it will be worth a try.
So after a few weeks the new dial show up and I must say that the result is perfect.
