1983 year 144.0022 for sale. Are the indices likely original or do they look like they were replaced with luminous. I would have thought they would look more creamy brown rather than greenish hue. Could it be original just not very faded? Thanks

Looks fine to me. BTW you have a typo it’s a 145.0022. The green is perfectly normal. I agree people prefer the earlier beige look.

Completely normal to see green lume on some periods, including early 70’s and early 80’s
