My wife’s had this for a few years and I’ve only just noticed the odd dial. I only noticed because coming in from the sun there was a faint glow. It is the earlier mini-sub model so must be from the 80s.

Re-dial, re-lume or service dial. Notice the Prince Date monicker and ‘swiss made’ at bottom. What’s your thoughts?

Hard to say based on a pic from this angle but my vote is 100% correct

Neat. Never seen one of these before.

I don’t think it can be period correct. Period correct should be Prince Oysterdate at top and t swiss t at base. Prince Date & Swiss Made at base of dial would suggest late 90s, but I’ve not seen the later model 73090 with a swiss made dial as they stopped production by the time Luminova came in.

It’s a mystery.

The dial looks the same as the one pictured below, (sorry, low quality). This scan is from a 1991 Tudor pamphlet that came with my Tudor watch purchased the same year. I don't know if earlier Mini-Sub had the same dial or not.

Thanks David, but look again. Mine says PRINCE DATE, not PRINCE OYSTERDATE and has no ‘t’ either side of Swiss Made

Thanks Swearengen. I’m wondering if it’s just a re-dial, or service replacement.
