That said, the above statements should be the standard conclusion for all future discussions, which will come up for sure in the future.

It actually slipped my mind but I was able to find a post by James Dowling on TZ from a couple years back where admits to having purchased lots of IWC Mk XI's at auction back in the day and found there to be about one white dialed version for every ten 'normal' dials. He also admits the dials were not the same quality as the Schaffhausen originals and he felt they were made up by the MoD. That would indicate that in fact the MoD had produced their own white dials prior to selling off their stock and leaves open the door that there are 'authentic' MoD white dialed watches. As I said, the specimen I own does seem to have some age and I do have a bit of experience here. Since Mr. Dowling does contribute here maybe he can chime in.

Kind regards,
Michael
