You wrote previously that you remember the dial not having the gold surrounds, which makes sense for an 8.0 serial.

The cross-over is supposed to be in the 8.2-8.3 serial range. I've seen both matte and gloss dials with 8.3 serials, but I've also seen matte dials with 8.4. To be sure, you could search extensively online to see if you can find other 8.0 serial 16800s with gloss dials. You never know.
