Submariner Face

Did any Sub come with just Swiss on the face at the six o'clock position?

Yes

I believe 1999-2000 A Serials were the "Swiss" only dials, I think they were early Luminova dials to Someone more knowing should be right along

Yes pre 1960 subs when they used radium for the lume, and from around late 1998-2000 when they changed from Tritium to luminover.After mid 2000 all the dials now will have Swiss Made to present time.
