Heres a pic of the very first batch of 16750 wg glossy dial without the date.
I believe this and not the matte version is the rarest transitional dial for the 16750.
Although many prefer the matte dial version
These are famous for spider cracking and most were changed out during service.
For the 16750 there were 3 dials the matte dial the glossy no date and the glossy date
