I've been on the hunt for a Tudor 79280 Chronograph and just recently pulled the trigger on a non-Tiger Prince Date dial model. I went back to look at the pictures in anticipation and noticed that the date font looks to be bold and sans-serif in style whereas pictures I see online of other 79280 models show thinner serif style date numbers. The font/spacing for other dial text also seems to vary. Does anyone know if they changed date fonts/dial fonts over the years?

The serial number for the one I bought is H6XXXXX which most likely dates it very close to when this model was discontinued (the warranty card is stamped as being purchased in 2009).

The one I purchased (sorry for the bad quality, picture is from the seller and I had to zoom in):
