I have the "Mark 6" dial that has started developing a nice level of patina on the sub dials. I took my watch to an Authorized Dealer (Wempe) in Stuttgart, and was told that there is some EU requirement that if the dial has tritium, I will be required to replace it when I send it in for the 5-year service.

Several Questions:

1) Is this true?
2) Does my watch have tritium?
3) Is this a requirement in the USA? (If not, I'll wait until I move back this summer and have the service done there.)

THANKS for any information anyone has.
