Yacht master 16623 date question

Heres a question for someone who knows every little detail, on the TT yachtmaster - white dial. Is the date always white (too match the dial), or does it come in Champagne to (to match the bezel) ? I have seen both options but I don't know if they come both ways from Rolex or if it is a sign ...

That is not authentic or has had date wheel (if thats the correct term) installed in it from another watch. The watch otherwise looks good, the date figures look good, crown guards look good, SEL's good etc. etc. but I just don't know if the yellow date is accurate for the model.

Revised answer to Bo's question when I wasn't in a hurry

My concern is that the watch has had the date wheel (if thats the correct term) installed in it from another watch, or maybe the dial has been changed from say champagne to white but the date wheel hasn't been changed. The watch otherwise looks good and I believe its authentic, the date figures look good, crown guards look good, SEL's good etc. etc. but I am wondering if the yellow date is accurate for this model when equiped with a white dial.

Here's what the ORIGINAL date wheel looks like on a TT YM....you can see the very pale ivory background.
