The dial looks fine. There were a couple different dial (and bezel) variations on these.

The original bezel looks fine as well, just beat up a bit.

Sure, there are plenty of "normal" 16610 frankens out there with green bezels (most being aftermarket), but it would be pretty hard to "pass one off" as a real LV, unless it had the Maxi dial and hands as well.
