Is this Tudor Submariner Snowflake 94010 original?

Hello everyone,

My name is George and I'm a long time lurker :D

Today I came across a beautiful Tudor Submariner Snowflake ref. 94010 and I have the opportunity to buy it.
Unfortunately my knowledge in vintage Tudors is almost inexistent. I'll attach all the photos from the seller and I would like to know a few opinions.

Is the watch original or not?
Is the dial original to the watch or is it a redial or a refurbished dial? I'm asking because the fonts and the spacing looks a little strange to me.
I notice there's a slight hue difference between the lume on the hands and the lume on the hour markers. Is this normal or it suggests a re-lume?

Any other info is welcome and really appreciated. I have less than 24 hours to decide if I should buy it or stay away.

Thanks a bunch!
George

Icon4 Run for the hills!

Run and don't look back. The hands was the first dead giveaway. The hands are oversized compared to a vintage example. The lugs are also unusually wide. The shape of the crown is also poorly defined.
