Original or mod AK 5500 with matt black dial?

I love the matt black dial of this one:

https://alexpig.com/products/1987-ro...-box-and-paper

The seller claims the watch is fully original, however I am surprised to see a 1987 9.5 million series coming with a matt dial and with a 7835 folded links bracelet with 357 endlinks.

I know the seller has an excellent reputation and I don’t want to unduly question this. But even if the dial and the bracelet are authentic, I am not sure they are original for this watch, although I am happy to stand corrected. As I am contemplating the watch specifically for its matt dial, I would like to be certain that upon service RSC will accept the matt dial as original.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Alternatively, I am wondering whether the dial of this 1968 looks original:

The lume dots may look a bit unusual? The watch will need to be fully serviced, but if the dial is any good, this may be an option.

Thanks again!
