Run. I've noticed that site lists numerous watches with obviously questionable dials.

Wonder if I'm missing something here.

Not an expert, but that Price is way low for a true 1016. That immediately gets my spidey sense working

Text at the bottom of the dial looks very off

The domed crystal distorts the text.

Dial 100% refinished or fake. Don't waste your time.

Hands are too short, dial is wrong, text is wrong, that T SWISS T<25 doesn’t make any sense...keep looking.

Juhuatai is correct, at minimum poorly refinished or fake dial, the bracelet and end pieces I believe incorrect also. Best to be patient and find a better example.
