It's sometimes hard to tell if a dial is luminova or superluminova on dial markings alone.
When Rolex made the switch to luminova circa 1998, dials were marked "SWISS". However; as Rolex already had a number of dials from the manufacture with tritium markings (SWISS T<25) these dials were painted with luminova and used.
The luminosity of luminova was said to be less than ideal and Rolex switched to a higher version--superluminova which of course are marked "SWISS MADE".
However: (again LOL!) Replacement dials are superluminova and only bear the marking "SWISS" at the 6 o'clock.
Man is that confusing! LOL! |
The above is from another post on this forum whilst searching for lume differences...
Can "Tools" or anyone else confirm for sure there is no difference between the two luminova's?
Greatly appreciate the feedback as my '99 'A' Serial 16700 is "swiss" only. For years now I've thought it was just plain old fashioned luminova when it could be super! lol
