Sub 16610 lumes redial?
Hi all
I’ve been looking at this sub 16610 (1997) for a while. Looks good to me, only worry are the lumes. Dial is indicating tritium, but lumes look like lumanova in the dark. Could this be one of the tritium dials with lumanova lumes or should I be worried/hands off (redial)? Thanks for your help, much appreciated. Tom1111 |

Thank you for your quick reply. Yes, it’s a U serial. Is it advisable to let this one slip and wait for a ‘correct’ dial/lume combination? The watch seems in good shape, so I was thinking of buting. However, I would like to better understand if this is an issue to rolex enthusiasts? Would the price have to be considerably lower?

Exactly its been reported although dials were marked Tritium they were Luminova around 1997/8 the change from Tritium to Luminiver just Rolex using up old dials.
