Nice patina developing. If you are that unsure of the seller and the watch, you'd better find someone to open the watch up and make sure everything is a-ok.

To me it looks as if the hands are a bit whiter than the dial. Luminova replacement hands? If so, I would personally look for an example where these things match.

This is going to be a watch for my wife to have on a nato band so not too concerned about the hands. More interested in overall look of the watch.

You should be. The hands looked like they were replaced at some point.

Was more work performed inside? This watch should be opened up.

Looks good

It is possible that the hands were changed at service at some point.. However, hands and dials do not age at the same rate so "matching" is a personal thing.. Flash them with a light and go into a darkened room to see if they are Luminova..

If the price is right, your wife will be very happy with that watch..

The hands were replaced...Not uncommon with the Tritium 14060's...
The watch looks, based on that picture, to be 100% legit...
That being said, why do you suspect it to be a fake???

Don't suspect it to be fake I just wanted another set of eyes on it.

Looks good to me, lume on the hands is aging at a different rate than the dial markers or they've been replaced at some point, other that that little detail it looks good to me.
