Ive been seeing more "matte" dials around the web. Does anyone know if these configurations were ever in the catalogue ? I always thought they were all sunburst but maybe Im wrong.

First one is "matte" black, OP swears its genuine and has loads of other dials/parts on his page (which look genuine).



the next one is "matte" gray (no lume, OP said it was a special release for the Japanese market "17000 from 1981? When Japan by law banned radioactive materials Rolex sold some watches with T SWISS T dials without lume dots to Japan"). To my eyes the hands look incorrect for an OQ. The minute hand should be closer to the outer track, same for the hour hand and the markers.
