·I have recently bought this IMO very nice Seamaster Chronostop 145.007 (attached). There is, however, one detail about it that I am not completely comfortable with: the lack of the "T - T" markings for tritium in the lume around "Swiss Made" at the bottom of the dial.
The watch looks legit to my untrained eye, but I was wondering if someone here could help me shed a little light on whether the missing T marking can be correct.
I have so far found these similar examples:

Could it be some sort of later service dial where the lume is without tritium?
In this thread, also from OF, the consensus seems to be that there are indeed legit Omega dials from the tritium era without "T - T" markings on them.
