Check out these 2 pics. The 1000ft=300m is different. One looks further apart than the other. My new sub looks perfectly centered like the first pic. Why would some be different than others.

It is a Z series also. I thought it might be all of the Z series were but evidently that is not the case.

Is there a reason for the differences or is it just a quality control issue :thinking:

Just for completness, here are the dial printings on the "wider" dial. I do think this difference is just on the batch of the dials.

It seems like the wide spacing is more common. I would love to know why they are different.

Sure...
It's likely that there is more than one manufacturing factory or machinery for dials.
The specifications are probably for font style/size and location rather than exact dimensions and tolerances. There is some variety on dial printing throughout the Rolex line....and probably any other watch maker too.

Seems to me that someone setting up the dial set out got a bit too happy with the spacebar:
1000ft = _300m instead of
1000ft = 300m or
1000ft=300m
I expect this will be isolated to the batch lot of dials and Rolex will change the spacing in time.

That means my overly spaced "M" Sub ND cosc will be worth milllions in the future!!!

I don't know it looks like the normal spaced is harder to find. I wonder how many Rolex will make since they are going to discontinue the model.

I Rolex subject to 'lemon laws' - might be one for the lawyers in the USA.
Then again, Rolex probably has an army of lawyers :banghead:
Stop, rewind, erase, rewind and play:
As I was saying mighty fine dials on those Subs :thumbsup: :rofl:
