Help please, tritium 14060 has a luminova pearl bezel

Hello guys! I'm very new to this forum.

I just purchased a 14060 submariner series W (1995)

that comes with a swiss-t<25 dial. After using it a few day, I found out that pearl on the bezel glows in green (marker and hand are tritium and do not glow)

I'm quite concerned that the bezel on my rolex was replaced with luminova pearl and not original. So I asked the seller and he replied that some 14060s come with luminova pearl but tritium dial. Is it true??

Thank you in advance and have a good day guys!

Hello !
I have a 14060 series W, with a wiss-t<25 dial and a tritium pearl on its insert. Franckly ... in 1995, Rolex was not producing any stuff with luminova given that it was only introduced in 1998 with transitional Swiss dials. The seller is just trying to hide that the pearl or the insert is a replacement one.

Not a W. They were first seen in 1994 and made well into 1997, but they still weren't putting Luminova in anything by then.

Replacing the insert isn't a big deal; no need to be "quite concerned"
