36mm Explorer dial/hands replacement question

Hey guys,

I own an Explorer 14270, cal.3000, tritium dial. Was thinking about replacing the dial with a luminova one, along with matching luminova hands.

Are there any issues with the fitting of the dial and hands if I do find luminova ones? Say... dial and hands for the later 114270 with a 3130 movement?


Will the newer hands and dials fit into my older 14270?

Just wanting to make sure before I start to source them.

The 14270 is quietly becoming quite collectible. I would seriously advise you to keep it as-is, just like it left the factory. If you’re truly convinced that you need a Luminova dial and handset, I’d sell your 14270 and purchase a 114270.

Thanks for the insights. Yeah I've noticed the the price has been creeping up slowly among dealers, same goes the the Exp II.

I love my 14270 and would never part with it haha. Just want a spare luminova dial and hands just in case my tritium flakes or something.

The dial from a 114270 should fit without any problems right?
