Looks OK, but not the greatest photos - I think that Bill would have mentioned a relume.

The lume looks original to me, but as Bill says, the back and dial don't match which should keep the cost lower than one that's 100%.

. . . but note that its condition reflects time spent in Iraqi service. The watches used there are usually in pretty bad shape, since they haven't been professionally serviced for a long time. This one has an older, non-original bezel added to it and the back engravings are simply worn off.
