Rolex Sub C Dial Variations

I was just browsing pictures of other members sub c. And I noticed the equals sign on my dial is slightly to the left of the C in chronometer. Anybody else notice the equals sign is not consistently in the same place.

Perfectly normal. There are slight variations like that. Beautiful Sub BTW.

If you do some searching on dial variations, you will find this has been discussed at length before!
Almost all models throughout the Rolex lineup, have at some point had a font and spacing change...

I brought this up a little while ago and did a lot of research. I also spoke to Rolex about it and here is what they said :

Since there are variations in the alignment of the fonts...why change your dial???

They gave me the option to do it in the future if I choose. I doubt I will do it though. It used to bother me more than it does now. A little variation isn't a bad thing as far as I'm concerned.

I have the same on my green Sub C. It bothered me a bit at first .. don't even notice now ... in fact, I kinda like how it makes it two blocks, left and right, if that makes any sense .... What i REALLY do wish is that they would have kept the long F in "ft".

Just remember that Rolex always makes minor changes and adjustments so the Font issue is always the norm!!!
