Thanks for the reply, JimDon. I've read elsewhere that the white dials were more common on the earlier military watches, and black dials predominated on the later models, for the reason you state, (stealth). I've not seen anything official about issuing white dial watches to the folks in the rear with the gear, but it's plausible, and common sense. By 1944, with supplies increasing substantially, it would have been more likely to have a choice in the matter.
