Lume is wrong

the rest looks good but with that greeny lume!

Greeny lume might be OK. Seen it before. Subdial hands look fine for a 7806.

Both are from the same seller and look very correct imho.
On the 1st one - 806 with boxed 10 - the yellow - green reflects might be dur to the new crystal,it is really a minor issue as replacing the crystal is a 10€ job .
On the 2nd one - 7806 - greenish lume is just normal , and specific small hand on small second subdial is just normal too . Same yellowish crystal

7806 lume looks a little untidy to me. 4 o'clock in particular.
Relume?

The 7740/cal.12-sword hands (7806/7808/8806/8808) were originally green - correct for this watch. V178 hands had a grey / vanilla-tone.

Best, Ralph
