Icon5 sea dweller writting on the dial

Hi,
I just noticed on my sea dweller v series, the word 4000 ft f is almost the same size as t but as compared to other models even on my sub date the f is bigger than t, the writting should be the same on all or it can happen, pls advise.
thanks

Dial fonts will vary...pics would certainly help.

Welcome to the Forum.

Your font is correct for a 'V' SD and is the same as my 'Z'

My 'M' SubDate has the other style font.

thanks for that I was a bit surprised to see another seadweller with the same font as the submariner, but the font on my seadweller looks like yours.

My M has thicker fonts than my Z so it's normal variation as stated
