This example looks good nonetheless, and assuming is 100% authentic, even if it should have a gloss dial you can still source one and end up with a few dollars on your pocket if you decide to sell the matte dial. Do you have pictures of the paper?

I came across that idea too Cooper. However the asking price is a little premium at 12k. Provided I can find a period correct glossy dial, I think this example will be too much of a gambling.
