16750 GMT question

After researching the 16750, I've only ended up more confused than ever.
First, I have a watch that is serial# 835XXXX, which seems to make it a 1985 (or '84... not sure). Selling date was 1986, so it has to be earlier than that.

It appears to have a matte dial with yellow-gold indexes. All the photos I've seen ofseem to use white-gold indexes, except dials on the gold version GMTs.









I know there were several dial variants (Mk1, Mk2, glossy, matte, etc) in the early-mid 1980's, and that's what is confusing.


The watch was serviced once, and not by RSC, so I initially doubted that the dial had been changed. At least there was no mention of it when the servicing was done. The watch was purchased by my dad in '90, with all records, and to our knowledge, he's the only one to have it serviced... and just that once.

So my question is: Is the dial original to the watch?


(I swear, I've tried to find the answer using the reference section and "search" functions, but the only thread I found seems to have all the photos missing.)
