Just a way for them to earn extra dollars
Other companies today in Switzerland are using micro gas tubes with tritium inside. Plus the amount of tritium on your Slytech isn't at a level which is harmful. Otherwise how could you wear it in the first place.
Replace T Dial - No Way
With my recent purchase, Pam 225, noticed a slack in winding and decided to bring to Panerai Boutique (HK) for a service (lubrication or adjusting the crown). Immediately I was told, most likely the dial will be replaced with a L Dial, because its company...

Pam 225 completely serviced
by an ex-richemont group servicing senior who gave my 10 years old Slytech a good service, done within days. He also understood about the T-dial recall by Panerai and 100% against their policy. The brand company doesn't care a cent about collectors who in...
