What year did "Swiss Made" start printing on the dial?

Is it true "Swiss Made" start printing in 1998? while earlier year printed Swiss-T<25
LumiNova was found in 1993 until 1998 they start printing Swiss Made.

I have seen some watch on ebay that is produced in 1994 with printed Swiss Made. So i just want to clear from people out there who might know more of their Rolex history.

For GMT/sport models 99 and 00 had "SWISS" only dials and then afterwards then had "SWISS MADE".

check this ebay 153188606370


I email them they said its original dial, i told it can't be cause your dial printed swiss made for a 1994. So these guys are lying and not an honest dealer.

Up till 1960 Rolex used the word SWISS then dials were Radioactive Radium from around early 1960 on Rolex used T.Swiss.T less than 277 MBq (7.5mCi) and Swiss <T25 less than925 MBq (25mCi)on there dial depending on how much radioactivity they had from 1960 till mid/late 1998.Swiss only dials were then used with Luminova from 1998 to 2000, then after 2000 back to Swiss Made with Superluminova,and now cromolight.Would expect that 1994 watch on ebay has had the dial changed quite common if dial has lost its glow.

This all sounds about right
