T Swiss Made T Dial

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post here, I hope that question has not already been asked.


I may be buying a 16200 with a specific tropical dial.
There one thing which make me uncomfortable with it, the dial is stamp with " T Swiss Made T" inscription
In my knowledge, Rolex produced those dial during 90's, but only for servicing.
Do you know if the used them for new pieces?

Thank you for your help.

Max

Generally 80s dials. Correct for that model.

Zenith Daytonas dials were marked T SWISS MADE T during the 1990s until the switch to luminova dials occurred around 1998.

That's what my Daytona has on it. Acquired in '98, probably made in '97.
