16753 with black nipple and root beer bezel?

Hey all,

Lurk a lot, but hardly post.

I remember reading somewhere that that 16753 TT was offered with the black nipple dial and root beer bezel, but this bezel was more commonly accompanied by a brown dial.

Anyone seen a black nipple dial on root beer bezel? If it was offered, I’m struggling to find an image.

Cheers
Taylor

I always thought the brown bezel went with the brown dial.

Perhaps I worded this strangely.

My question is: Did Rolex pair the black nipple dial with the root beer bezel?

Thanks!

So A 9 million serial 16753 would have come with either black dial black bezel or full root beer ?
