I see a few red flags. Bezel looks off. Dial says Swiss and glows. 16040 service dial? Fake dial? Case engraving seems ragged.

Vintage experts?

If I'm not mistaken years ago it was T-Swiss-T then it went to Swiss, then to Swiss Made.

SWISS or SWISS MADE = Luminova from 1998, so it should glow
However watch lugs has holes which was stopped well before 1998, so either a replaced dial or fake, but from those photos, I can only state suspicious

Adam
UPDATE
Seller states it a 1984 - so dial should have T SWISS T <25
and he states "Service Dial"

So probably all OK
