Does New Release SD have Gloss or Satin Dial?

Can anyone at Basel confirm whether the dial on the new anniversary SDC has a new glossy dial, or is it Satin like now discontinued SDC4K? According to Rolex site it appears they are stating it's a gloss dial. However, I would like to hear this from one or more whom seen in person!

Says Gloss, as was predicted and utterly condemned last year... Member must have been shown one of their various prototypes that occasionally slips thru, like that TT Subc with the SD bezel style.

All I see is "Black" on the web site. For those who are saying it's confirmed "gloss" can you post a screen shot or live shot showing its gloss?

That's interesting when I first posted about it going live I'm 99% sure I saw gloss black somewhere on the Rolex site, but as you say it just states black now and from pics I'm inclined to say it's still satin like the previous gen.

Hey Sam. Right now I'm pretty pleased with my two-watch collection of 116600 (discon) and 116500 (scarce)...you must feel likewise!

Ordered a 15450 by the way...I have ordered silver dial but will replace the dial with blue when the blue dial is available.

And the speculation continues with conflicting spec sheet info from Rolex itself. Again, can anyone whom actually saw this watch in person at Basel let us know if the dial is Satin or gloss? Even the video from Ablog to watch fails to address this...which is odd based on all the interest in threads last year discussing The SDC4K and Gloss : Satin dial!

Every pic I've seen shows it's CLEARLY matte. If the site says it's gloss, I'd bet that its in error.
