It just depends when the Tritium dial was replaced. If it was around 1999-2000 it'd be a Swiss only dial. If after that it'd be a Swiss Made.

OP the watch doesn't look bad, it's been polished, but not badly. The lug-holes still look good.

At the price though I'd pass as others have said. At that price I'd want something better, especially considering the service dial.

Also the xtal is wrong it should not have ar on the Cyclops. This has been added during a service.case lines do look rounded but not too bad for it's age

The xtal (crystal)is twisted aswell need to be aligned over the date correctly

unpolished? Mate it's completely round. I know prices even for these are insane these days, but I wouldn't spend over €5k myself for that.

Actually if someone was trying to make a Yachtmaster out of a sub they got pretty close.

16710 - overpolished?

As already pointed out that is nowhere near unpolished. The whole left side of the case looks like mush.

Pay attention to the lug holes. Look how soft the edges are.

Refinishing a case isn’t bad. It’s the poor refinishing of a case that’s a bad thing.

Got a link to it? Looks decent, but those type of white background photos are not the best. Personally I’d always ask for natural light photos or something with a better background.

If it’s from 1993 the dial has been replaced.

Looks really nice. They’ve certainly shot up in price haven’t they but if I was spending good money I’d want a nice example like the last one.
