Hands look newer than the dial, insert might have been replaced at the same time. I think it’s the correct insert just shows no sights of wear or fade. Looks closer to 8k than 9

Looks like a late '90s insert. Hands might not have aged to the same color. That happens often since they weren't made in the same factory or with the same batches of lume. It might be all original depending on the serial number.

A 16710 is a GMT Master II and will have this written on the dial. This having no II is a 16700.

Now I'm waiting for thread #3 showing a 16760 and throwing a wrench in the whole thing.
