14060M sub but with tritium dial

Need some advice. Ive been sold a 2003 production year 14060M, with a swiss<25T dial,which does not glow. This is wrong I assume, as tritium dials were phased out in late 90s? replacement dial?

Yes, that is suspect. My '99 14060 has Luminova.

Sounds like some funny business here potentially..

How do you know that it is a 2003 production year since Rolex does not actually make watches by production year ??

I think Rolex stopped making tritium dials in 98-99

i looked up the serial number. In any case, its a 14060M case and presumably a tritium dial would only be found on a 14060?
