I don't think it is solely for Rolex.
As far as I know within the Rolex group all the tritium dial that spot "SWISS-T <25" are reserve for Rolex. Tudor tritium dial will either spot " T SWISS T" or "SWISS". As for other brand I really can't comment. Sorry I can't be more help. Are you looking to adding The Crown into your collection?

Wednesday Madness: 2nd Chance
A while ago I have a chance to acquire a Tudor Sub, 7928 to be exact. As I know the world of Rolex/Tudor vintage is like a infinite abyss. With lots of weird creatures looking to turn you into their lunch. I'm talking about fakes and frankenwatches. I am ...
Tyler, the Vintage World is a mined field which requires a lot of homework.
But that is, in my opinion, all the interest of it! Looking for some informations, trying to collect them, and check if they are correct, it is a very interesting, passionate hobby. More than a hobby, a must if you want to collect Vintage watches, by the ...
You're right. The Bomba is a modern watch.
Well technically speaking the 16600 still have a few more years before it can consider vintage. It is a N series. I agree with you whole heartedly about the vintage world being a mines field. It does get exciting though when we found what we look for. The...
i admire your balls of steel, i mean bravery to venture to the other side..
i saw what they were selling and i seriously cannot tell if they have been through Amanico certified if i am actually mentioning the same place. Imagine Nicolas is there and he sees what he sees they have tonnes of vintages there. He will be the best pers...
Great story with a great ending
Tyler I am glad you persisted and did not get rolled over or disgusted with the saga. I am also glad that you purchased from a reputable dealer as so many people get stung and have no recourse when the seller is miles away. There are many things that shou...
You're welcome Bill.
Hopefully one day I'll get to see all the vintage piece own by our fellow purist That's quite a travel plan. Rgs, Tyler
SWISS-T< 25...
... thanks for the educational post, Tyler... we always learnt something new day by day. regarding "SWISS-T just last week, i tempted to bid for a not-so-common brand of vintage diver watch, there was also this "SWISS-T anyway, after learning many times, ...

yes...
... i have been controlled not to get any more Crown into my collection, but somehow... my eyes, my hands and my mind are not in phase...LOL stefan
Whatever I mention only apply to Tudor.
For Rolex I'm sure we will spot "SWISS", "T SWISS T", "SWISS-T < 25" and other. I really have no clue. PS PM sent Rgs Tyler
Well spotted
Sometimes it's worth paying a premium but buying from a reputable dealer. Everyone can make mistakes, it's how they rectify them that shows their worth. I have had four watches on approval in the last two months and all went back to their dealers for vari...
Thanks for the suggestion Eitan.
A good watchmaker is hard to come by in where I stay. Then again nothing is impossible. I will remain hopeful Best Tyler
Great post!
Very educational, and thankfully with a great ending for you. I'm looking just now for an old sub - either Tudor or Rolex, but hopefully without crown guards, and it is a very daunting task, hoping not to be caught out (i have alot of learning and researc...
