That's a 16700, not a 16710.

The bezel insert is genuine and correct for the age.

However, the case is over-polished and the bracelet looks badly worn. I'd pass on this one myself.

The "hooks" are called serif and somewhat common. Without them would be sans-serif, or without the serif finishing.

In ~1990, or the era of this watch, both the 16700 Master, which this appears to be, and the 16710 that replaced the 16760 GMT II in 1988/89, were available side-by-side.

Perhaps it's just me, but the crystal magnification seems off... Perhaps an AM crystal.
