Question on 16710 Dial Lume

A friend of mine just picked up a 16710 T series serial from a reputable reseller.

Just noticed that the dial or hands do not light up at all.

Is this common? Or are the hands/dial fake? Hes going to text me a pic to put up to help with diagnosis.

if it says t<25 at the bottom it wouldn't likely light up.

well that doesn't mean it is or is not fake but no tritium Lume left is to be expected. If you post a few pictures here people can authenticate it.

personallly i think it may be ok but the springbars seem wrong for a lug holes case... but i would wait for more replies like crown and caliber to chime in. maybe a mod will move this to the watch out sub forum where more people validate .
