16750 datewheel

Hi everyone
Could any forum member confirm if the 16750 matte 7mil, originally came from Rolex with a silver date or a white date wheel.
Is the visual differences very slight or very obvious?

Thanks.

The Rolex 16750 comes with ....

Hello E66Y,

a white date wheel. I own one myself and it has the white date wheel.
I have a 1680 Sub & that has a sliver date wheel. Looking at both of them, you can see them both the same.

Hope this helps,
Leonardo

They are definitely white, as noted by others here.
