    I vaguely remember a discussion many years ago about this but couldn't find it in my search. The dial on my 3536Ti is lumina, except for the 12 Markers. The dial says "T Swiss Made T". Is this a replacement dial or is it original. I'm not the original owner. Can anyone explain why the dial is like this?

    Thanks,
    Larry

    Sorry for the post, I re-did my search and learned there were 2 styles of dials and this is the early dial, with the Tritium hands and 12 Marker as well the pearl. The markets 1 through 11 are Super Luminova.

    Now you have all of us dashing to check if we have type I or a Type II!

    But let's face it - either way no matter which dial version, its a stunning and classic piece.

    Schaffhausen insisted on replacing the hands on my 3536 when it was sent in for a service. I suspect they also replaced the dial.
