Fonts

I ran across a web site that has info on the Red subs, and they used images with the same font, or something very similar, to the font used on the red writing on the Red Sub and DRSD.

Does anyone know what the font is called?

I know there are differences, but I'm really curious as to the font's that Rolex uses.

Come to think of it, it might have been the font used on the newer dials, so I guess any Rolex font info would be appreciated.

The dial suppliers of Rolex (Singer, Beyeler) have used various fonts during the times. I would say the fonts used are a closely guarded secret to prevent forgery. Although counterfeits are getting more and more precise, the forgerers never seem to get it right, probably due to them not having exact information about the fonts used and therefore having to copy them as well as they can.
