Subdial color on 116500

I am on the waiting list for a black 116500 . I am wondering if the color of the subdials of a black 116520 are the same as the 116500?I have seen a lot of pictures of 116520 were the subdials have this gold reflection. I have not seen this effect on the new 116500. They always look a little more light/silver.
Thanks.

I can tell on my black D500 that the sub dials are flatter, no sheen like the prior version

The subdials of the 116500 are fairly matte whereas they are pretty shiny on the 116520

Thanks, the reason I asked is that my AD told me to buy a 116520.
He could get a gen ceramic bezel and would change it. For the 116500 he told me that I need to wait at least 2-3 more years.
I do not want to spent 18000 euro on the grey market.
I compared a lot of pics but to me the dials look different.
Thanks for confirming
