buying help 16710

Hi guys....
Sorry for the annoying flurry of posts on yet another GMT that I'm considering buying....I wonder if some of you would be so kind as to give your opinion on it regarding the case polishing, and whether the dial and hands look original or service pieces?
The watch is from 1994.
Thanks in advance.

Since dial says tritium I’d say original dial....4 o’clock lug is the thinnest....might be a solid watch

Thanks for replying! I feel like I’ve been studying photos continuously for the past 3 days and think it seems pretty decent, so it’s good to have someone confirm it!

Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated

I don’t know if it is real or not, 2 pictures does not tell all.
All I have to say, others have said it before, don’t buy the watch, buy the seller.
Best of luck

Buy the seller? Tell that to those collectors that bought Blueberry GMTs...

Instead, check the return policy and guarantees.

Try the search function here in the vintage section. Also try "blueberry GMT" with a google search.
