Eddie,
That's a rare find, I don't think I've seen another OD green version on here, or anywhere else for that matter. You even have the original bracelet too.
A long time ago I was doing some research into these, and noticed that the 'date' only has an orange hand on the lower sub dial. On day/date it's white (or black on the pewter model).
I'm not entirely sure this is a hard and fast rule, as some have noted that this isn't always the case. Going by the catalogue pics, it seems the case - but a quick look at some of the Lemania 5100s on the OTD photo archive shows this isn't always an accurate 'rule'..

: Thanks Stewart, I didn’t realize that both the day and day date
: were available at the same time.
: No the color in my pic isn’t very good. The watch is classic od
: green, even more so than I thought from the photos in Jeff’s
: guide.
: The coolest thing to me is the light mint green of the lume on the
: dial. The od green of the case and dial, the orange of the
: chrono hands and the green lume make for a somewhat eye popping
: combo in person. It’s the first watch of mine that my neighbor
: has ever noticed and a couple of people at work have noticed as
: well, which rarely happens.
