Pumpkin is all the rage now , I suspect 99% of the pumpkin Patina watches are fakes including the ones from top sellers.

That's quite the accusation. Why do you think that? Relatively easy to confirm fake lume nowadays.

As for the OP's example, I don't even consider that a so-called "Pumpkin" dial, which is usually more orange than yellow.

It is interesting the different shades of lume colour for different models.

My 1680 red sub has your style of lume colour, not quite cream but a desert-y yellow. Then my 1680 white has the more typical cream.
