1970 "red" submariner date wheel

I just saw a 1970 model with a silver date wheel. I have the exact year and mine has a white wheel. What does this mean??

It was likely replaced at some point. It should have a silver one. My 1973 does.

If you go down in your cellar so will it be black.

Do you have any pics of your watch?
