Milgauss White Dial Inquiry

Hi Folks,

I’m thinking about picking up a Milgauss 116400, specifically the white dial version, and would love to get some advice. I’ve done some research on the forum, and it seems that the white dials are less common than the black/blue models. I came across a white dial from Raffles Dials that looks pretty good, but I’m not sure if the quality holds up (price says it all, so I’m not expecting anything top-tier). I haven’t seen much feedback on this particular dial, though.

So, I’m hoping to get some input from the members—has anyone had experience with this white dial? Is it worth going for, or should I look at other options? I’m also considering a budget build with an ETA 2836, but that’s just me thinking out loud- I'm not a watchmaker, but I have seen some fantasy builds by Caboose, for example and thought it would be possible.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Raffles is low end stuff, the dial may not be gen' spec', so may not fit the case. Quality will be well below the rep factories dials.

Thanks @tripdog anything else I should explore in terms of white dials - I don’t know else sells them? Or should I just stick to the black dial?
