Did they install the SL dial and hands or was that done at the last service?

Jeff,
That's a replacement dial from circa 1998-2003 or so. So the story goes, as Rolex transitioned from tritium to luminova, dials that were already received from the maker (with markings) had the luminova added instead of tritium creating a dial with trit markings but with a luminova/superluminova mixture.
Wise move keeping that dial! It's actually a bit of a rareity and a bit desirable.

I have one on my 16750 dialed in 1998. WG with tritium markings, but is actually SL. My Tudor Sub is the same way. T dial, but SL paint. That is brand new/2006.

Just looked very new. I'm wondering what the RSC's are putting on older GMT's now.

Replacement dials now say "SWISS"



If the watch at some point in it's run had a WG surround dial, that dial will also say "SWISS"

Yes... dial ($120) and hands ($25) were replaced during service in Dallas August 1999. With service of movement, crown ($21), tube ($9), dial, hands and new acrylic crystal the total was $443 in 1999. Factory service at the time was $255 and it's now $420.
