16808 Tropical Dial relumed?

Hey Guys,

what do you think about this tropical dial from a 16808? The lume seems to be a bit too inaccurate to be original. I guess it has been relumed?!

Thanks in advance!

I don’t like that dial. It looks moldy vs tropical.

possibly relumed or just old... I think it looks great and would be a cool addition.

Thanks for your help! Not really confident with how the lume is applied into the markers.
