Older rolexes had a lot of tritium -so common that 60s and 70s rolex lume plots glow for 30s or more if UV light is used.
From late 80s ( i think? ) the used tritium at reduced treat rates ( SWISS T < 25 ) dials - these are the ones that dont shine now - nothing, even with UV light as mentioned above
Search in the Rolex forums - loads of threads there explianing this in detail and far more elequently than I did
