Can any of you guys find any flaws or red flags with this 16700? It‘s being offered by a reputable jeweller and the price seems to be reasonable even though the seller usually has pretty steep pricing in general. It hasn‘t been sold for quite some time now.

It's seen a polish or two, the clasp in particular. Overall fine and if you're looking to keep it for a while the price is fine.

I would pass in this condition.

Coronet on clasp looks to be well polished.

Yea, to me, the clasp and the bracelet look heavily polished. Maybe the polishing on the lugs isn‘t ideal either. If I‘d buy the watch, it would be to wear it though, not as an Investment. I was at the jeweller to look at some other watches recently and they were super nice. They also mentioned that they generally have a margin for the price, so I doubt I would have to pay Full.

Looks ok to me though well worn and the HR markers hands have greyed a bit as some later tritium do.

Perhaps ok for a negotiated price £8k or so.

Insert beauty in eye of beholder but tbh insert is a bit dull/patinated red and sharp blue still which I personally find not an optimal combo.

Serious question to A / U officianandos and experts, I don't buy anything past 98/99 so I'm a dillitante on later pieces.
THE QUESTION - when (or what close SRL no. range) did the Tritium 25 convert to SWISS lumi footer 'within that years letter code'?
