Welcome.
T-Swiss-T is often featured on older watches, referring to the luminous markers being made of a relatively weak radioactive substance called "tritium." If you'd like to show us pictures, we could prob point out any red flags if need be- but in general, you should go to an authorized dealer/"AD" to get its authenticity confirmed.

Yes I know this. That is not at all what I asked. I asked about the placement of this marking on the face I have.

That method of stamping the dial did occur - where the T-SWISS-T was located within the minute track.
Here’s an example...  Not the same model nor the exact type but shows how it looked back in the days when Tritium dials were getting marked. As for your dial in particular, it could still be custom or refinished. Can you try for a sharp closeup of the reverse side of the dial? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I've never seen anything like that. I suspect it's a refinished dial. The T.SWISS.T isn't exactly cleanly placed above the minute track but it looks interspersed within the minute track. I'm usually one of the last to claim "fake" I've just never seen anything like this done by Rolex. It's really common of dials to be refinished and have diamonds added as well. As with all things, know your seller; if you are un certain of them then the risk is greatly increased.

I am the potential seller. Which is why I want to know what I have. Real or no.
