    Scott,

    The best source I’ve found is a vendor called Klockit selling a good selection on Amazon.

    The have a wider selection of sizes and faces than Lee Valley.

    Scott,

    I bought a Lee Valley Large Clock Insert and I’m less than wild about it.  Lee Valley is, as most people will rave, a great seller.  But this particular product was lackluster: the mounting ring was difficult for me to fit, the lens is hyper-reflective, making it difficult to read the clock, and it weren’t exactly what I call inexpensive. Perhaps others have a different take on it, but I suspect the mounting mechanism that Klockit uses is easier to work with.
