Your 16800 is lovely, Tony
The patina is fantastic!
As for the value, we do not usually discuss them.
Having said that, a quick ebay search will lead you to a couple of examples sharing the same dial as yours. Now, how collectable that feature is, is beyond me, but your watch has a great even patina and overall condition, which should help in fetching a premium over others.
As for the dial itself, I am inclined to believe that these might be the first run after the matte dial 16800 was put out of production. Nothing certain nor conclusive, just a hunch based on your open 6 date disk.
Good luck in your quest and enjoy your Sub!
Cheers,
Alex

Do you feel comfortable? The hands can always be color matched at one of the many restoration shops around the world, so that is not a problem.
