1989 16613 Dial

Debating this watch. Can anyone confirm that the dial is an original? It’s an L serial from 1989 but I was under the impression the Swiss print at the bottom would be “Swiss T<25” as opposed to “Swiss Made.”

Thanks!

Yes service. Original would be Tritium. Certainly replaced at service.

If you are looking for one of these I’d search for one without a service dial.

You could probably source a tritium dial. Those dials are not that uncommon and I am sure you could source a period correct one.
