Quote from here:

This refers to the chemical used on the hands and hour markers, which causes them to illuminate. Around 1950, watchmakers started using Tritium as their luminous material, and began indicating the amount of that radioactive material with a designation at the bottom of the dial (i.e. T SWISS T or SWISS T < 25). Around 1998, watchmakers changed the designation to read SWISS or SWISS MADE, when they replaced the Tritium with LumiNova (an organic, non-radioactive chemical), as their source of luminescence.

T SWISS MADE T indicates that the radioactive material Tritium is present on the wristwatch. The amount of radioactive material emitted is limited to a maximum of 25 milliCurie.

SWISS T < 25 more specifically indicates that the wristwatch emits an amount of Tritium that is less than the 25 milliCurie limit.

SWISS T 25 indicates that the wristwatch emits the maximum allowable amount of Tritium (i.e. a full 25 milliCurie).

SWISS (or) SWISS MADE on wristwatches produced after (around) 1998, indicates the presence of LumiNova as the luminous material. (Please Note: "SWISS" or "SWISS MADE" was also the indication on wristwatches produced prior to the 1950s, when Radium was used as the luminous material. However, at that time "SWISS" or "SWISS MADE" simply indicated that the watch was, in fact, made in Switzerland.

Thks Brio for your explaination. My next question come very automatically. I think you should know what my next question. Will it post any health problem if we wear it daily.

unless you are eating off your watch dial, you will have no problems. i read before, you have more radiation from the old school exit signs than your watch.

[shanelai]

In alll your opinion if get a pre-own rolex from those shop at people park complex or centre, how much or percentage normally it can be negotiated until?? any range like 100-200? or 500-800 and etc?

You could also check out JW Watches. I bought mine from there.

I had a good experience with Visiotime. The services were good and surprisingly, discounts were offered. And their stocks replenished quite fast.

Passions also had good services but the prices were slightly higher.

WatchArena tends to be poorer in services and opinions. I had once walked in and asked about PP 5127. The staff even told me different things about this watch, and told me "I don't know about PP". I felt a bit humilated and so I walked out without wanting to continue.

However, there is no good or bad pre-owned shop. All depends on your luck and the watches availability. And see whether the owner wishes to reduce more.
