Opinions on this 16710 please?
In the interests of increasing my knowledge, and a possible purchase, does this 16710 look correct for a late 80s example? It looks fine to me, although clearly polished, but I’d be curious to know if there is anything I’ve missed.

I believe your evaluation has summed it up fairly well.

Piling on to confirm your assessment is accurate. First thing I noticed was the case being "soft". It's not "overpolished" and thin by any means but the lugs/crown guards have a soft look from polishing.

I’d prefer it unpolished but I understand that most non enthusiast buyers want their watches to look new. |

I was just calling out what I noticed and you can take the information and considerate it for decision making. But the watch looks correct to answer your question.
