Looks like a nice watch overall with known and documented history. It's quite normal for 16750s to have corrosive hands and I'm sure this one is no exception. I think you can see some of the tritium is missing/flaking on the second hand. The insert is original and the bracelet looks very well kept. I currently own one and enjoy wearing it in my rotation.

Best of luck.

Does the dial look original? It does not specify in Bob's evaluation.

Thanks guys. He posted sold awaiting funds.
Good learning experience for me. At least I think my gut was right.
Being a rookie I had trouble pulling the trigger.
