Tudor Snowflake 94010 Dial Variations?

I am sure this has been discussed before, but what dial variations are acceptable (if any) on a Tudor Snowflake 94010 dial. What I mean specifically is how the dial is signed.
I have mainly seen T Swiss T on this reference, but what about Swiss only, or any other variations?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Oh found my answers unless you find anymore...

Swiss only is legit

And T Swiss Made T is a service dial I think?

Here are my 3 dial indices variations of the 94010 Snowflakes for the Royal Canadian Navy. All are T Swiss T marked. Only my 1961 is Swiss.

Is it luminova?

I have seen SWISS only in 7016, don't recall 94010. Would need to see pics.

My 7016 is a Swiss only. My 94010 is a t Swiss t (meaning less than 15 parts per million tritium I believe).

The measurement is Micro Sieverts per Hour (uSv/hr)

T SWISS T is supposed to be under .15 uSv/hr

T SWISS < 25 is supposed to be under .25 uSv/hr

I have a 61 PCG (SWISS only ! dial) with Tritium that still pushes over .15 uSv/hr 56 years later

Some of my other Tritium Tudors still push above background radiation (typically around .04 uSv/hr)

I have some parts thought that are many, many timers stronger, if you have radium stuff it is high so don't lick you dials ;)
