Rolex 16750 - Matte dial... or?

[Maggi]

Hello guys!

First of all, thanks for providing all the great insights that you do. It's truly inspiring to be an active reader of this forum.

Now, over to my question:

I recently bought an NOS Rolex 16750 GMT-Master with an 8,8-mill serial. The watch was complete with box and papers, had apparently never been used with razor sharp bevels, no hairlines, in immaculate condition with a story to it that is very credible. One of the main drivers for the purchase, was the fantastic matte dial on the watch, with great patina matching the hands.

However, upon researching somewhat more - after the purchase - I've come across a few articles stating that the matte dial ended around the 8,4-mill serial. But - I've also seen on i.e. GMTmasterhistory - stating that the glossy dial started around 9-mill serial. I just want piece of mind, knowing that the matte dial is appropriate for my watch (I have no reason not to believe so, but just want to make sure).

Can any of you - knowledgeable members - please give me some peace on this matter? :)

All the best, and in advance; - thanks!
