16610 questions

Hello all. I am considering this 16610 I found online being sold by a jewelry store. It’s supposed to be an L serial from about 1989. Dealer states the lume does not charge/glow at all. I’m certainly no expert, which is why I’m here, but this dial does not look like lume/patina from 1989. What do you all think?

Overpolished case but dial and hands look original

Does not look unusual for a watch of that age.

I have a 16610 serial X, hence quite close to your (1992)
and the dial looks identical. Mine has no patina too.
