New pictures of Seamaster XVI w/18K gold Dial *PIC*

Here are more pics of the Seamaster Olympic XVI w/18 K gold dial!. I brought the watch to the Omega watchmaker and they confirmed this is indeed an 18 K solid gold dial,and the pictures on the back of this should confirm the pegs have never been altered!. The numbers on the back of the Dial are (25546 Z.J. OR). I have done lots of research and the Z.R. was one of the manufactuers that Omega used during this period, and the OR is GOLD. I have contacted the Omega Factory to verify this. My watchmaker says the back of the dial has never been altered,as he is doing research for us on this also,as he also said that supposedly no gold dials existed for the XVI, but he say's this is the real deal!. Prototype,maybe or was it custom made to order?. We have lots of unanswered questions!. The face of the dial looks to be in Very Good Condition. I wish i had a much better camera,but i did have it on 10 mega-pixel!
