Another T SWISS T vs T SWISS MADE T thread

I’ve read copious amount of threads regarding the markings at the 6 o’clock marker on our dials. And I understand the significance of the T for tritium marker. However, I haven’t been able to find a consensus on the timeline in which these markings were in used.

From what I’ve gathered, the sports models has T<25 and DJ and DD models has T SWISS T. Now, as far as the timeline, were T SWISS T and T SWISS MADE T used at the same time? Or were T SWISS T used before T SWISS MADE T?

I have read pages upon pages of threads regarding this topic, however there’s no definitive answer on t Swiss t vs t Swiss made t. It seems they must have run around the same time since t Swiss t ran from the 60s til 98 when Rolex switched lume material. Still not definitive though...

I agree that there is no definitive easy answer. I was really just pointing out that asking the same question of the same people for the umpteenth time is not likely to provide new answers.

Answering this question comprehensively will require some solid research.
