I have an R serial sub 1987 production date. It has the; SWISS-T< 25 on the dial under the 6 indice.

What was the last year Rolex stopped using the Tritium on hands/indices?

so...with a half-life of approximately 12.3 years, is it safe to assume that most Rolexes & other watches with tritium dials/hands will no longer be glowing in the dark by 2020? mine (a 1971 model) stopped glowing about a decade ago.
