And again, this was not a purchase (though even if it was, I still think everything has its price), it was a trade. All things considered I have around 6k invested into this piece. At that number I feel comfortable that I am not going to lose much on this watch, if any.

Yes as mentioned it would have been matte if pre 8.2million, and perhaps matte if pre 8.5million.
7.4 million 100% matte.
However, £5.3k \ $6k is exactly what I would max out at on it myself with a service Swiss Made in-situ.
Imho all about price and potential.
You've imho traded/bought well, and if you have the chance to get a matte dial (f.i.o I bought one and trit' handset for a hefty $5k a year or so back - they are three times the price of a 16800 matte dial unfortunately at c £1650) and then you'd nearly double that £5k investment or wear it as a perfectly good SD.
