Please, can you explain why you think it's a replacement dial?

On original dials, the right hand wing on the logo points upwards slightly. On service dials, the logo is flat all the way across. Hard to tell in your photos, but I think it looks ok?

Sorry - my highlighting tools at hand are a bit limited.

I would say dial looks ok too.
Hand lume and dial lume different shades so perhaps hand replacement or relume?

Great looking watch.

Yes, magnified it seems to be original. It's definitely hand lumed. This vanilla color is normally an absolute indication for a replacement dial because the normal 8806 dials were green lumed...
