Before the gloss
There's something about a matte dial that no modern finishing can replicate it doesn't shine, it absorbs. Rolex knew what they were doing before the glossy era took over. Like Marseille itself the Mediterranean doesn't show off, it simply exists.
Terrible
I keep thinking I have had enough experience to know that I am just not a lover of the Submariner, and my collection is in good shape without one. Then I see a matte dial and faded bezel example like yours and I get sucked right back in!

That really is a stunning looking vintage Rolex Submariner.
No date and just such a clean looking dial is why these vintage subs are the best IMHO. Marc
