I viciously plagarized this from doubleredseadweller.com:

Mark V

This is the same dial as the Mark IV dial but in 1999 (A) till the end of production in 2000 (P), luminova was used in the markers. Therefore, the dials did not have the "T SWISS T" and instead it was labeled as "SWISS" at the six o'clock position. The hands are also luminova.

There are some examples of (U) serial watches from late 1998 with luminova dials and SEL bracelets. These watches are correct.

If by your question you mean can the dial be fitted with tritium vials that glow in the dark regardless whether previously exposed to light, I don't think Rolex ever offered that as a factory option. Check out Ball Watch Co. for tritium watches. http://www.ballwatchusa.com/collecti...oGMTS2CJSL.asp
