Tropical?... 😕

Yes. The dial is clearly brown.

From the pics, the hands look like Superluminova to me, have you tried an UV lamp on them? Do they fade the same as the indices after illuminating?

kind regards Max

The hands are replacement but don't glow long at all. Watch likely hasn't been serviced since approximately 1990. Dad quit wearing it after retirement.

it might have been serviced not that long ago.

by all means service but I can’t see a rush.

lovely example

It hasn't been svcd in 30 yrs best of my knowledge. It runs and still has the stamina for the annual Xmas office party though.

I don't

@JamesST : The DON should be confirmed with the serial of the 861. Do you have it?

Yes I have the serial. There are no conflicts concerning any of the major components. It was apparently serviced at least once but not in decades. Dad would not have switched bezel just for the hell of it.

Because of the tropical dial, it should have a DON as the serials associated to these dials are in the DON range.
I wouldn't even bother checking 😀

It has a DON as it should. To best of knowledge all original and appropriate for serial sans hands!
