Is it me (and sorry if this has been discussed before) but the '=' (equals) symbol on the Sub C LV dial appears to be left of centre between 'ft' and '300m'

On the Sub C LN it appears to be slap bang in the middle.

Am I blind, deranged or mistaken?

Regards

Slight change of the dials me thinks.
Are these two same serial prefix?

Amazing, but I think you're right about that. Not only the equal sign, but also the "ft" (of 1000ft) is also more left on the Sub-C LV dial than on the Sub-C LN dial.

But now that I've leafed through the saved Sub-C pictures, I've seen one Sub-C LN that has the same pecularity on the dial. So it may be the 2011 model.

My LV is a G series (purchased May 2011) and the '=' is to the left!

Same here. Mine is to the left as well and I have a G series!

Just had a quick look at one of my pix... My 116610LV has a "straight" = sign. It is a T random serial bought in October 2010.

Edit - had a look at my 116610LN and the = sign is to the left. It is a V serial, bought in July 2010

can we see snaps guys?

mtrunner · 1 July 2011, 05:47 AM

Do you think this was an error on the earlier models?

Blokewurm · 1 July 2011, 05:47 AM

Here's mine!

Danand · 1 July 2011, 05:47 AM

My LN v serial (aug 2010 purchase) seems well centred.

Blokewurm · 1 July 2011, 05:49 AM

Wrong pic sorry!

You guys look way to close at your watches.

Apparantly!

I'll let you know about mine in a few minutes, after the minute hand moves out the way.

Yep, equals sign is closer to "ft" than to "300". Bought mine March, 2011, newer production.

Jason71 · 1 July 2011, 07:19 AM

At least all the black text on the dial is not shifted to the left like on my Milgauss. It is QUITE noticeable

wot_fan · 1 July 2011, 05:58 AM

Here is my LN. Random S/N purchased 2 months ago.

Sorry it's a lume shot. It's the only shot I have where the = isn't covered.

desmo996 · 17 July 2011, 06:27 AM

So does this appear to be a variation between the G and V serial numbered watches?

If considered an error wouldn't Rolex recall the watches?
