These watches are becoming impossible to find without modern luminova replacement parts, including dial, hands, and bezel, so this tritium model is a real find.
Item is unpolished and sold as-is. As you can see from the photos, the condition includes scratches and scrapes to the acrylic crystal, some cracking and crazing on the dial, and rich aging to the lume. The watch is in running condition and appears to be keeping approximately accurate time, but a service is recommended. The winding stem is a bit loose and does not appear to lock in place fully. The bezel is also seized in place, so it will need some attention.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
