Err...kindly consider to have them listed as
possible candidates for the...Rolex Reference Library.
These here are from Orchi's little study n understanding...
of the 1675 GMT Master Matte Dial Variants...
albeit still in its infancy stage...at the present moment...
until hopefully...Orchi could understand them a little more later on...
to be able to suggest any further updates subsequently...
or as soon as possible...
Thanking you in advance for your patience n support,
Best regards
Orchi.
P/S: Other TRF's Fans of 1675 GMT Master Matte Dials...may
also suggest...n contribute their relevant experiences or findings
in this thread...TQ.
Here is what Orchi believes to be the 1st Generation of
1675 GMT Master Matte Dial...
Please let Orchi calls it as MK.1 Matte Dial...for now.
Case series from around 1.6 mil until about Mid 2 mil or so...
(Possibly...the Earliest Series could take the FAMED Mini Small Arrow
24hour GMT Hand)
Perfect Example of MK.1 Matte Dial:
With Case Ref# 2,011,xxx ...
A.k.a "Bart Simpson" Coronet, Flatter Top, Longer & Slim 5 Arches,
n Prominent "o" Coronet Base.
(Latest Purchase from WBAW? LA + Original Cert)
Perfect Example of MK.2 Matte Dial:
(Case series from around Mid 2.5 mil to Early about 3.5 mil)
(Possibly...this would take the illusive & RARE 24hour All RED GMT Hand)
With Case Ref# 2,999,xxx ...
A.k.a RAREST version of "French Venom Bleeding" Flat Base Coronet,
"Bleeding" plots of "ROLEX"...
(Latest Purchase from NBTimes of Hong Kong)
Perfect Example of Another MK.2 Matte Dial:
With Case Ref# 2,7xx,xxx
Possible with All Black Bezel Insert
Possible with the illusive 24hour All RED GMT Hand.
RAREST n Excellent Example of MK.3 Matte Dial:
(Case series from around Mid 3.5 mil to about 4.0 mil)
A.k.a "RADIAL" or "MINI" Dial.
(Orchi is short of this Matte Dial version...thought to be Very RARE)

(ONE of Orchi's many favorite & BEST Sellers in VRF n eBay)
Example of MK.4 Matte Dial:
(Case series from around Early 5.0 mil to about Mid 6.0 mil)
(Possibly...this would take the illusive & RARE 24hour All RED GMT Hand also)

Example of MK.5 Matte Dial:
(Case series from around Mid 6.0 mil to the End of Matte Dial Production by Rolex for 1675 GMT Master)
ALL of the above Matte Dials of 1675 GMT Master...
in the past ROLEX regular factory productions...
have been discontinued by Rolex...
with the SOLE exception of the following...perhaps.
(in Orchi's humble novice opinions)
Example of MK.6 Dial: (To be continued)
Rolex Service Replacement Tritium Matte Dial...
or Luminova Matte Dial...
Further study n findings by Orchi...would be updated in
a later stage...or as soon as possible.
Thanks very much for watching...
P/S:
The above list of 5 main Matte Dial Variants from namely MK.1 to MK.5...
(as per Orchi's humble suggestion)...
ALL of which has OBVIOUS differences by comparisons between these 5 variants...
1. They each have the OBVIOUS yet distinctive individual Coronet style plots...
2. They each have the OBVIOUS yet distinctive individual OP/SCOC plots alignment...
n to a certain degree...the thickness of fonts..n body of paint prints...are more or less different.
NO 2 Variants from MK.1 to MK.5 main Matte Dial Variants could be seen as having close resemblances...
