Milgauss question - dial size?

It’s been deceptively hard to track down the correct diameter of a modern Milgauss dial. Case size is listed as 40mm but I can’t figure out the dial size. Seems to be between 28mm and 32mm but if anyone knows the exact size that would be much appreciated. This is for a custom build so am sourcing a blank dial separately.

Thanks everyone!

Is it safe to assume it would be the same on an ARF Milgauss with an A2824? Linked here

For context, I selected this model given the wider availability of 2824/2836 compatible hands and the possibility of replacing with an ETA 2824 if the movement fails.

I believe so. I measured both gen and ETA dials for you and they are the same size.

Ok, thanks so much for your help. In that case I may need to use the dial that comes with the ARF Milgauss, remove the markers, wipe it clean and apply an all white base for the design. It’s deceptively hard to find a 30.3mm no date blank white dial that fits an ETA 2824.
