SD question

I recently purchased an SD from an AD. I love the watch. However, I was noticing some pictures posted on this site of otehr SD's, and I noticed a difference in my watch. Near the 6 o'clock position of the face, where the swiss made is imprinted, I have small minute markings under "swiss made" whereas other watches don't have those at the 29 and 31 position. Do I need to worry that I have a fake? Is this a normal variation. It is a z series watch purchased from an large, well known AD. If this is a sign of a fake, should I take it back? Any advice would be helpful.

Can you please post pics of it? Go to an AD to check out about your watch. If you post pics maybe fellow TRF members can help you out. Welcome to TRF

Don't worry this is a normal variation. There are some differences in the font on the dial as well.

Welcome to TRF, Becker. Just different variations from different dial printers.

No to worry....as long as you know your watch is authentic and have purchased it from an AD.
