That is not enough. We need to know the case number, the quartal and the year.

Re small 24 hr hand
There have been and I have seen matt dial 1675 MK1 with small 24hr hand. But they are/were very early serial right at the point of changing from gilt to matt for example I had seen a 1.59 mil mk1 matt dial with a small 24hr hand. But this is the exception...
