Any obvious concerns with this one? Dial and hands look original?

Thanks!

 

Not sure about concerns but it's pretty sexy

 

Oh nice

 

Seen this for sale for a while. I don't like the look of the plots, something just doesn't feel right.

Proceed with caution.

 

Lume plots are my #1 concern. Seller can't confirm for certain whether original lume, but assumes it to be, and states there is faint remaining glow (appreciate his honesty). Most re-lumes don't seem to have this "aged" look, and plots and hands match nicely, but hard to be sure.

 

Watch comes with second bezel, and this image makes me question the lume a bit more. No chance to view it in person. Any other thoughts?

 

Just because they looked aged doesn't mean that it hasn't been relumed as it can easily be painted.

 

I saw this watch previously as well; I had a short communication with the seller (and I thought the communication itself was fine; seller was generous with photos, as well). Never seen a 16750 with this kind of lume-aging before; some of the close up photos - thought some of the lume plots looked a little more uneven than it should have.
The glow I don't think is a problem. Tritium has a half-life of just over 12 years; so some of the 80s watches might hold a glow that you can see. If it charges with a light - that is not the tritium in the lume that is "charging"; it is other parts of the lume "mix" that is probably reacting to the light and appearing "charged."
I thought price was a bit on the high side for the overall condition though. Initially listed at $9k; now $8.9k.

 

Additionally, I think the seller does have a lot of good feedback on TRF.

 

a little too globbed on and puffy for me

hands lume material seem to match dial - puffy and rough''

I would pass

 

Thanks all. Driving myself a little nuts scouring the web for comparisons - so your input is much appreciated.

 

Lume plots looks very suspect...looks very much like a relume. Not a bad looking watch though.... good looking insert and case looks decent.

 

I would pass. The lume plots don't look right for a 16750. As others said, it's too puffy.

 

I also think it is relumed and my aged 16750 says hi!
