Kai
The real one should say "Swiss Made". This one says "Swiss T < 25"

cld you guys have made a mistake?
it looks good to me..... U series wld make it a 1997 production.... tritium dials wld still be in production... hence the "swiss - t<25" marking.... the seller seems to have sold lots of high ticket items in excess of usd4,000... so... maybe its just one of the earliest gmt II 16710s having one of the last "t<25" dials..... the off centre date view cld be due to the pic being taken at a position which is not dead centre..... just my humble opinion.... hope i dun offend the experts.... I come in peace...... \m/ O_O \m/ |

Looks fine to me - just badly in need of a service to remedy the 'sticking' date wheel.

Stupid question, but is the 24hour hand in-front of the hour hand? I thought it was at the back?

You know, I started googling and I'm finding images of some with the 24 hour hand in the back and some in the front. Was there a switch as some point in time. I think this one in ebay is legit!

If memory serves me right the hand stack for a 16710 is: Hour hand closest to dial, then 24hr hand, then minute hand and lastly the second hand. (think I'm right anyways )

Check the seller. 100% positive feedback for past year selling similar high end watches. While you can't be 100% certain, it's a pretty good bet this is legit.
