Tritium lume

The tritium on my Prez dial has gone past it's use by date. Can it be re-applied? Or is (Super)LumiNova the way to go? Would prefer Nova to something radioactive. What's the best way forward? All help appreciated. Thanks

There aren't many options here.

There may be a couple of dial refinishers who will still work in tritium, but I'll bet they are rare because of the extra precautions that need to be taken to work around radioactive materials..

Most refinishers will re-apply Luminove..or scrape the old trit lume and apply Luminova, but if you con't get a good one, then the reslult is less than adequate.

There are a lot of Luminova dial replacements available from Rolex for the DD, and they will gladly replace it along with a service at any time..
