I apologize for my earlier posting emphatically calling the dials in questions misprints. I confirmed at the Rolex booth 4.4.08 with a Rolex rep. The truth of the matter is that the movemets of the watches with the dials that are missing the roman numerals actually contain the new GMT II movement (3186) as is found in the "ceramic" GMT II (reference 116710). Rolex put the new movements into the "old" (16710) to test the movement prior to putting it in the new case. I know, you think I am full of it, but the truth of the matter is if you have both watches in hand and adjust the 12 hour hand, the 24 hour hand flutters in the old movement (3185) and not in the new movement. Try it for yourself, you will see the difference. So the answer is that it is not a mistake, but an intentional variation so that Rolex could monitor more easily the new movement prior to releasing the 116710. They are obviously rare and limited. Sorry again for the bad information earlier.$
