Datejust Dial

[Delmar]

I'm new here, been lurking for a long while. Looking to build a datejust, and was wondering if this dial looks legit. Print seem's a bit to light.

looks ok to me- T SWISS MADE T indicates that it's older with the small dots next to the stick markers being tritium- probably don't glow anymore

Thanks alligoat! Would the T SWISS MADE T also indicate that the case does not have the lugs drilled through?

Here is some info:

From Rolex Passion Report:

 

           1998- 2000, LumiNova was invented in 1993 and patented in 1995; Nemoto & Co. Ltd. was contracted in 1998 to provide LumiNova to Switzerland.

 

           2000 – 2008, Super Luminova, a improved version of Luminova, a material that has the same properties as tritium but is not radioactive.

 

           2008 – now, Chroma Light, the new blue-ish colored Super Luminova that has been in use since Rolex patented it.

No, tritium was used up until 1998 and the holes in DJ 16200 cases went away in 1996, so there's a slight overlap.
