Thanks for raising this question, dear MCG...

... this dial does not belong to a customer timepiece but it is an original patinated dial to showcase what the options for customers are.
Due to the Vintage Atelier ethics charter, whatever way is chosen by the customer is documented properly and also detectable. So if a customer decides to have the original radium mimicked with Luminova, it will be documented in the restoration report and with the right equipment you can also easily figure out that it is SL.
I had asked the very same question when visiting with the team, and the response was loud and clear: Blancpain will not support βfakingβ Radium or Tritium, absolute transparency about all works performed is key.
Cheers
