Found Grail today - need help..

I found my grail today at the watch show. It is a "Z" series YG DD with a diamond meteorite dial and a diamond bezel. Here is my question:

The warranty card says "Day Date Meteorite with diamonds". How can I be 100% certain that it came from the factory with both? Is there something about the model or serial number? I am traveling without my reference material so I have no clue. Not that I would anyway .

Thanks for any help. I have till tomorrow noon or so to let the seller know.

Mike

Only the diamond bezel would have a designation, it should be something like: 118298- the second to last digit denotes bezel (0-smooth, 3-fluted, 9-brilliants).

As for the dial, what's noted on the papers or warranty card, is the only verfication.

Good luck!
