questions about T-Dial on reps

[PeaLow]

hi, i'm looking for a super rep with t-dial
but i have a questions, i hope someone can answer this for me.
i have a gen t-dial and it's already old, so the lume doesn't charged anymore
well maybe only charged for about 10 seconds when you shine a bright torch on them
now how about the t-dial on the reps ?
i saw several threads and all the t-dial has lume shots
do that means that the rep t-dial does actually works like normal L-dial ?
if that the case , isn't it an easy tell ?

There's FGD dials without lume. The new Rolli dials are made to represent t-dials in NOS condition. Old DSN dials, as far as I know, came either without lume or a faint layer ... Pick what you like and can live with...

Also the newly released reps with tritium dials are lumed, e.g. 087, 064, 024

hmm, sto thats mean if we bought a rep t-dial , i mean straight from TD, not those custom dial.
then the lume glowing on he t-dial is a very easy tell ?
if that's so then why several T-Dial pams are even considered as super rep ?

Modern gen PAM releases made to look like vintage watches also do have lume (so does the Seamaster 300 coax).
On reps replicating a real old PAM them being well lumed would be the least of my worries, they look like 60 Year old watches straight out of the box (and need to be modified lightly or heavily). They also could have been re-lumed or have a new dial fitted.
If You haven´t done so visit Pratt´s vintage builds: amazing....

Well if it makes you feel any better I got a 087 rep and the lume on it is not real strong.

I've got the 024 and the 243 J. Lume is quite bad on both.
