nice TOG with texture dial

That is is... except the question remains - did this watch come fitted with this dial?

It might have done... Rolex offered (and still do), a lot of options... it's just that none of us have been able to find another example of this reference, with this dial.

The case model number and the case back model number are inconsistent.
Is this acceptable for this reference like the 5512/5513 case backs in the sixties?

I believe so... I've seen it before at least - I've been told that the TOG was seen as a sub set of the 16000 series.
