GMT Master 16750 help

Hey,

I was looking on this 16750 with 73107xx (should be 1981?)
I think it looks all good but the service hands? I am relatively new with the gmt models. So I was woundering if you could se if there is anything wrong with it, and what about the case does it look OKEY? The pics might not be the best but thats all I got, the asking price is $6421ish

Thanks!

"Hooked 2s" on the insert = aftermarket.

I wonder if the spots between the lugs are just dirt. Still, as others pointed out, the hands are service hands and the bezel insert is aftermarket. Unless, the seller gives a decent discount, you should pass. Typically, original, vintage bezel inserts can be found for a reasonable price. However, vintage GMT hands are very expensive.

The spots between the lugs are corrosion and not dirt. I've seen much worse corrosion than found on this watch.
