Hi,
Did anyone notice the 2 different polices/fonts used for the red "Daytona" logo on the new 116500LN white dial (not sure if it is also the case on the black dial model). Some models are showing a red font with neat/straight angles while some other models are showing a more "ghotic" font....
Thanks for your inputs
Max

MaxKro · 5 January 2017, 08:30 PM

Here you go. It is very hard to see. But you may google it and possibly also notice the differences from photo to photo....

elcoyoote92 · 5 January 2017, 08:43 PM

good point ! if you check on Rolex website will find the left font and here (http://www.chrono24.fr/rolex/rolex-d...-id5481721.htm) the right one

MaxKro · 5 January 2017, 08:50 PM

So what ? Different production lines or fake/replica ?

elcoyoote92 · 5 January 2017, 08:58 PM

i have got more !
if you download Rolex pdf about the 116500 you will see the 2 font (page 2 and and page 24)

it seems that the first font has been into the wild, only the straight... to be confirmed

Thank you. Yes, the 2 different fonts used in the same official Rolex document...
How comes the famous "Quality Control" of Rolex did let this happen ?
Now there might be an even more "collectable" Daytona 116500LM series out there ! ;-)

Rolex have used hundreds possible thousands of different fonts on all Rolex over the past 5 decades but now mainly to the WIS and loupe mania they are noticed by some.And Rolex have a few separate companies now owned by Rolex printing the dials.

Again, not the big deal. So or so, the watch looks amazing.
But it is a bit surprising from Rolex. At this price tag, you would expect a strict quality control and a unique font for all.
