Help I'm looking to add a 16800 to my collection

Help I'm looking to add this 16800 to my collection and wondering if there are any red flags that anyone can see here. I've been told the lume plots are too white,
any input is welcome. The hands and bezel pip glow so I assume service pieces but the dial is dead as a doornail as I had expected all of them to be. 72 million serial so 82-83 if I'm not mistaken. I've studied the text on the dial and it all look correct to me but I am fairly new and just dipping my toe into the vintage pool. Bracelet and end links are correct as well as the movement which looks great. I guess the dial is what I'm asking for help with as the matte dial 16800 is my favorite Sub..... Other than the now unreal priced Hulk which is why I have decided to release the funds here on this beauty........ hopefully. I would also add that if it's a service dial that's not a deal breaker for me personally. Again any input is welcome thanks.

Best
Heath

Welcome to TRF, Heath. You need ten posts before you can post pictures.

Since I can't go on much without your pics, I would say to continue to research. You may find some helpful threads over in the Vintage Rolex section to aide your search. Good luck!
