Congratulations on your purchase!
Could you post a better picture of the dial? It may not be tritium, possibly a luminova replacement. Check to see if the plots shine in the dark after exposure to direct light? |

It does appear to be an early service dial / luminova, thus the plots will not get creamy.

You have a great full "collector's" package there. You will also have the option to replace the service dial in the future for one of your liking!!

Well, i am not so sure it is a repleacement dial, more pics will be needed. Anyway, replacement dials have the L of Rolex to the left of the crown, and 6 are open.
interesting thread: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=192774 Anyway, congrats and enjoy it, B&P, always a great special combo! |
