Panerai Submersible w/ Tritium Dial....
Could anyone here on TRF kindly tell me the last year a PAM 25 with both a hobnail dial and tritium was manufactured? I believe I have seen mention of a 25G which was just such a combination, and I am trying to learn more about this rare combination. Thank You!

The 25 with tritium dial and hands were produced for three series- A, B and C. Additionally, these series 25s had a plain bezel with no black hash marks.

Thank you. Do you know if Panerai will re-apply tritium if it is aged, and does not illuminate anymore? (I know aged tritium w/ a patina effect is desirable, but I also want to see the hands on my watch at night.

Panerai does not re-apply tritium to hands or face. When the tritium flakes off the hands, which it usually does over time, Panerai replaces the hands with the current production superluminova version. The new hands usually don't exactly match the color of the tritium numbers on the dial, but sometimes it's very close.
