Does this Seiko look legit to you?

I'm watching this on eBay but am slightly put off by the fact that I can't find a similar watch anywhere online. The fat lumed indices look out of place on the dial to me.
It's advertised as a Seiko 7000-8000 manual wind from the 1990s

[is that my watch]

just on gut feeling I would say bad refurb but did see this one

You can get a proper 7000 8000 from the early 70s for sod all so I wouldn't risk it. Here's what mine looks like

Yeah, when I was googling for other examples a post of yours came up

I read somewhere recently that as the years went by Seiko downgraded the quality of these movements. I think I was reading about 6000 series not 7000, but it would make me careful.

at a guess was it coming out of India they do some great one's and some not so great one's but worth it if you find the good one's

Nope, UK seller (although I think there are a number of those who buy in watches from India and then sell them on with a mark up)

Apparently the 7000 8000 was a intended as a low-medium end watch, sold mostly in East / southeast Asia. Sorry can't remember how reliable the source of info was for that.
