The dial/hands along with the bezel insert have been replaced with luminova service replacements. Overall looks like a nice example if you can live with the service parts.

Pardon the question, but wouldn't tritium have the t 25 at 6:00 and luminova just say Swiss?

Service dial
Service crown
Service hands
Service insert
Service Bezel

nothing vintage left and if you try to restore the watch, you'd be about 2k over the worth of the watch.

As it stands... 3.5-4k tops

interesting Is there anyway of knowing if it's luminova or tritium since both have same markings?

Typically the lumiova lume on the service dials has a different appearance/texture than on the original tritium dials. Many say the luminova dials have a 'toothpaste' like lume texture and that is the tell tale sign.
