Datejust Black Buckley dial (Help please)

Hi guys,
I am interested in this black Buckley dial Datejust. The watch serial is 8,xxx,xxx. i am not really sure if the dial is original since the lume look too white for tritium? I would really appreciate your opinion on the watch.
Regards

Cyclops is 1.5 magnification instead of the 2.5 magnification found on it originally. I'm sure the crystal is aftermarket which you'll find on a great majority of the older Datejust watches.

agree with John here it definitely an aftermarket crystal,
it should also have white hands so they have been replaced
