So I just got (via this forum) a lovely 92 / 93 A59028 Jupiter Pilot from the original owner. It has a white dial. Now I'm looking for an owners manual and when I searched eBay Germany I noticed 10/10 Jupiter Pilots were the blue or black dial version. Many fewer of these on eBay.com but also no white dials. Searched on eBay's international forum and same story. Is this just coincidence or is the white dial so much more unusual?

Just a matter as to what was the popular dial color at the time these were produced. I think buyers liked the classic black dial look over the white and blue dials especially on the Jupiter Pilot which has a heavy military look to it. I do like the other colors but you're right, don't see them much.
