Hi All,

I've been looking for a 1675 for a few months and have learned enough to be able to spot what I want in a vintage GMT. One question remains (well, for today at least): I see a lot of Mark II dials with white markers. Is it possible that they are original or is it more likely that Rolex replaced the dials with Mark II dials with luminova rather than tritium? If they are in fact tritium, does this mean that they are unlikely to ever patina, regardless of how they are used? I assume if they haven't gained patina in 45 years they are unlikely to yellow in the future.

Thanks,

Eric
