I see many versions of this watch with either " - SWISS - " or " T SWISS T " but confused about the meaning. Late 60s 1019s should not be radium, but can't be tritium... so what is it on the hands and markers? Love the brushed silver as well.

Rolex Milgauss 1019 " Cern " dials: Basic or double signature?

A so called Cern dial is a dial without tritium indices and hands. The luminous material is replaced by a black material. Why? I don't have a serious answer. Here is the normal " Cern " dial ( Credit picture Roberto, I think ) And here, the double signatu...

It has always been underappreciated but surprisingly its price has always remained relatively at the same level. I don't like the modern version but I find this one quite appealing ! Best, Mike

The CERN dial is quite appealing :)

Both for the connotation - CERN being a place where the magnetic protection is quite relevant - and the no lume. I concur that it\'s more fitting with the single signage, though
Yes...yes.....yes

......first, I agree 100% that thenature of this watch makes the Tiffany signature somewhat unecessary. Yes.....very rare, but not in keeping with the character of the watch. Just my opinion. .....second.....because it is such a "serious" and focussed wat...
you know.....the pair would be quite something....

.....like 5110...such different personalities. It takes a lot these days for me to see something interesting in vintabge Rolex....needs to be post-radium as a starter and an interesting watch to my mind.....1019 ticks both boxes
I prefer the normal Cern dial.

For me the "normal" dial looks "finer" and the "Tiffany" logo doesn\'t fit to a tool watch. Best, Thomas
