Mine is an A serial, which should put it at 98-99. I believe 98 was when luminova was introduced, so if it's a later A serial, I'd say it's the original dial. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

It should say SWISS if it is the original dial based on what I have read here. SWISS MADE means it is a service dial for an A serial. That being said there are plenty on this forum who know more than me and will correct me if I am wrong.

I would disagree. A-Serials are extremely transitional. Could be Swiss or Swiss Made, and (if a 16610) could have solid-end links or not.

Generally, a service dial would be more of a concern, with respect to “value,” if it was a pre-A-Serial dial with a Swiss - T<25 dial (aka, Tritium dial) that was replaced by Swiss Made.
