Tritum on 16710 ?

I have seen references to tritium in Rolex watches and would like to know if this is something I can obtain from Rolex or is it something acquired through aftermarket?

My old 16710 that I am the original owner of has lost it's lum - or maybe it's my eyes.

I am a fan of tritium and would like to know what my options are.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You might be able to acquire an older dial. However, Rolex is not making new Tritium dials.

Try PMing Steve Mulhullond on this site. He deals in vintage watches and parts.

If you are a fan of Tritium, better get used to the darkness. I guess the SuperLuminova is the way to go.
