So, yes, actually it's not vintage, as it is one of those LE pieces of the 1980s,
but basically theses are nice watches.

Yikes. At least the original dial is still there so that it can be restored.

He contacted me once as I posted some of the 1980ies LE's in the forum
he told me he would 1st offer it with the original dial and if that didn't sell he would certainly have no problem selling it with a custom made dial :?
