gmt dial
Hi All-
I have a 16750 with a gloss dial, does any one know if it is possible or worth the effort to change the dial out for a matte one. It is a nice gmt with no fading on the hands so the matte dial would probably have to be like new to match. |

I am sure it is possible to switch the gloss dial for a matte dial but I do not see it being worth the effort.
The serial number for your specific 16750 calls for a gloss dial with white gold surrounds so you would be creating a frankenwatch of sorts. If presented to a rolex service center for work, they would insist on returning it to the original configuration. I personally prefer the gloss dialed 16750 over the matte dialed ones. dave |

Agreed. The serial number is the big factor to avoid an issues watch. Factor also a matching hands set.
