They say on their website that the tritium dials can be replaced with a new one when they stop glowing.

Tritium tubes are currently used in many applications. It's only tritium paint that is no longer used.

Surprising! Most of the Manufactures, if not all of them, say that Tritium is forbidden and that they no longer have it in stock ( hands or dial ). [nt]

That applies to tritium paint

Paint can release particles which are considered hazardous. The sealed tubes are considered safe.

Yes, Ball will replace the hands and dial if the tritium has decayed enough (the t1/2 of tritium is 12.5 years, as you likely know). Mine was ~$250.
