Please have a look at these pics and tell me what you think: Is the dial a service dial? The hands have aged tritium (can't really see in the pictures) but the dial is "white."

Thanks for your input!

Not necessarily.

I've seen other brands dials and hands age differently on original untouched examples; specifically Rolex in my experience. Manufacturers used different lots of tritium on the dials and hands all the time.
So my short answer is I'm not sure about yours.

Looks like it to me, but sometimes the hands get a patina sooner. In this case though too much of a differance

I no longer have the watch to send a picture but my Mark XV I received new from a very trusted Omega Store had a dial that was tritium and the hands were luminova. Unusual? Yes. But that is the way it was.
