It's "throwing out the baby with the bath water"
to discard these dials, since a watchmaker never touches the dial or hands with fingers anyway. I would think the health risk is smaller than handling a lithium battery Quartz watch. But rules also sometimes lead to more profit for the manufacture - such as this dial rule and all new hands every time too...
Best bet is to throw up your hands in dismay, and send all T Swiss T dial watches to a safe location in far-away California desert, where they will be carefully monitored for radioactivity. Let me send you my box office number by PM...
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...
It is not only the value, it is also the charm of the patina. You did well.
And, by the way, the phenomenon is well known. I heard that some 7 or 8 years ago from Panerai. And the explanation you gave was exactly the same one. Best, Nicolas
I had the same problem with my 36...

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.
This has been standard Panerai service for quite some time
No more tritium dials. Another reason could be the tritium could flake off and eventually find its way into the movement. If you have a T-dial Panerai and need to get it serviced, you'll need to find someone else for the servicing if you want to keep your...
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...
