Any concerns with this 16600

Not sure if this is allowed here. I’m just looking to get any insights if based on the photo I should question anything. I have no reason to believe the dealer has issues of any kind. Comes with papers etc.
Just looking at the lettering of the dial and may have seen others that look slightly different with the spacing. Normal?
edit: I've since seen another listing that looks the same. Have there been variances in the font and spacing over time? (looking at years 2006 and 2008 compared to others perhaps)

Sorry. Found my own answer in the forum. Seems fine based on this (unless one of the experts knows otherwise). What a wealth of information in this forum.

Not related to your question, but it does appear that the bezel insert is missing its luminous material?!

At first, I thought it was cracked but now leaning more toward missing altogether. The metal "cup" is still present. The photo is so processed that it's tough to say for certain.

Yes, aware of that and debating having it replaced or leave as is.

It's not expensive if you go the replace route!

Or, it could just be the typical "marbled" effect of a pearl pip, as seen when one goes crazy with Photoshop. So, hard to say without better pics, IMO...
