16610 Swiss Only
Was looking for a new early vintage black submariner with some character and came across a "16610" with a "Swiss" inscription. Was wondering if this was unoriginal dial or potentially a tritium luminescent such as the Swiss T < 25 etc. Any insight on variations of luminescent and inscription on the 90's dials? Seem to have a lot of off dials in that era. Thanks!

You’ll find three dials on a 16610:
The earliest 16610’s had Trituim dials ‘SWISS T< 25’ Then there was Luminova ‘SWISS’ Then Superluminova ‘SWISS MADE’ |

Original SWISS dials on the 16610 were approx 1998-2000
Outside this date range they would likely be a service dial. 1990s 16610 prior to 1998 would be SWISS T<25 |
