Does anyone think that a green lume dial on an 861 is common? I would appreciate the feedback, please.

My '76has a green lume dial, but I can't say that I've seen too many on a '69. With the step though the latest that dial could be from is a '72 if i recall correctly. It's probably fine, but I can't say for certain.

71's can also be green. It looks fine to me.

Totally usual as said above.
The hands seems to have a nice yellow / orange lume.

Even some people don’t like this Lume, it is original and also in many case the dial stay clean because this lume is less dry than the others and stay well , 2 schools here a nice green lume fully orignal and clean or a nice yellow lume “broken” , I prefer the green because it looks like original at the end.

enjoy it

Very common. Here’s my early ‘71. And Fatcat is correct in that this lume tends to age very well.

You guys are the best. I really appreciate the feedback. This is my first Omega as vintage collector. I was more of a vintage rolex and was missing out on Omega for 10 years.
