Need some Rolex expert help

So I'm thinking of buying this Rolex 16710 GMT root beer.
However it's feeling a little mismatched to me.

Did Rolex make a 16710 root beer with nipple dial?
It has sapphire crystal. Did they make nipple dials with sapphire?
I don't mind replacement parts just worried it's all mix and matched.
Any insight would be great!

Thanks Paul

WOW......that watch is no stranger to a polishing wheel.

I would look for a better example based on that one pic. (Protruding 2 O'clock lug pin if I'm not mistaken)
