Wow, that is in great shape. Normally that blue dial is damaged, but this has a great dial.

If it's the one I'm thinking of and was bought from the UK then it had the dial replaced. The original dial(again if it's the one I'm thinking of) had a IMO beautiful mottled dial where the blue had faded out to a brown eggshell effect. The seller had it replaced with a NOS dial.

Hi, it came from Italy and is clearly not a NOS dial because of the patina on both, dial and lume.

·Do you guys think this is a mod? I only see 7681 on the barrrel case with khaki dial and white minute counter. The guy is selling this as original dial

·I’d say it looks original. However, I have mainly seen orange lume on the seconds hand before. I have exactly that model myself.

·Thanks. Yours is a7681 with white seconds ring. Mine is grey seconds ring which makes me think the dial is taken from an octagonal defy.

·Yes, ref. 7681 has khaki dial with white minute counter. If this is real, then it should have another reference number. I haven't seen this kind of Defy before. I'd say it has a dial taken from octagonal Defy.
