1961 Rolex GMT-Master - Original Dial or Later Dial Question.

[MJF]

Hello and thanks for looking.

I have a Rolex GMT-Master with a serial number of 695XXX giving it, from what I can see, a manufacture date of 1961. The case number is 1675 and the movement is a 1560. The case back is stamped II.61.

I have a question regarding the dial I am hoping some of the experts could help me with.

The dial looks to me like one listed in the reference section and described as a matte, 1st generation "Mark 2".

A friend had someone they consider to be an expert look at it who told them that it was not the original dial. They may be right, but I would like some second opinions from other experts.

So my question is could this be the original dial or is it a replacement from Rolex?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
