The serial number equates to a manufacturing date in the 1984 timeframe. To my untrained eye, the dial and bezel look correct for the reference, but I’m wondering about the hands. The lume on the hands appears pretty consistent with the tritium dial indices, but the hands still look pretty bright to me for a 35 year old watch. Luminova service replacements? All thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

Hello gbesq!

In my opinion those hands were replaced and are not original to the watch.

Thanks

I vote for replacement hands also. Dial also with no hint of patina

It all depends on if you like it and the price of course

Yes, of course, but I’ll have to factor in the cost of swapping out service parts for ones that are correct for the reference.

I think it could look nicer in natural light than on this photo. Do you have any other photos? Movement shot? Whats the asking price?
