Looks like a correct Mark 1 Matte dial to me, albeit with service hands.

Thank you Haywood , very greatful for your advice .
This is such a minefield and as a novice I know not to venture beyond absolute certainty .... which you and others have instilled in me and others who you so kindly share your expertise with .
This should now be a very short thread !

HM also gave another piece of advice: buy from a reputable seller.
If you don’t know your shit, don’t try to outsmart the market: people in the know will bid up to its value anyway.
Pay the right price and get one you can be 100% sure. Then, if the market keeps going, you would have a bargain that you can sell in a second if you decide to.
In more ways than one, buying those Rolex is like poker. Ultimately you have to pay, to learn.
HW gave you a free lesson.

Message received and understood, thank you for contribution.
I think my father probably said something similar and perhaps more eloquently “ a fool and his money are easily parted “.
I am along with many others I’m sure , very grateful for the polite and practical extensive knowledge the professionals on this forum are prepared to share , Haywood and his team are , I would suggest the pinnacle of these polite but exceptional people for whom I and many others are extremely grateful . Thank you

Well said young fellow me lad, now keep your hands in your pockets and hang onto your hard earned until a good seller offers up something really nice.
Very sound advice, which on a few occasions I have failed to follow in the past!
education first, and then bidding!
