Does this 16750 look authentic?

I'm working on a deal with someone in my area. Does this watch look authentic? Any red flags that i'm not aware of?

Thanks again.

I’m not an expert just someone who has worn a 16750 a long time. It looks good to me. Lugs have definitely been re brushed, but looks legitimate and no obvious issues to me.

TBH, I think the asking price is pretty fair. Apparently, this is not a good time to sell.

83 will/should be a matte dial. If you can afford a matte dial that’s the way I would go.
