I currently own an early 9 million series TT Datejust, model 16013. The dial has T Swiss T on it. Is this the right dial for this watch??. I believe this puts the watch around the 1986/87 era. Any help on this. The watch is immaculate and I think all is original.

Rolex used TSwissT and Swiss <T25 on there dial depending on how much radioactivity they had from 1960 till 1998.Your watch is most probably late 1985 to 1986

Yes they did, until about 1960. The radium was denoted by "Swiss" on the dial. "Swiss" was also used for a short time from 1998-2000 when Rolex was using luminova.
