I too noticed the hallmarks were different on all three photos, but didn’t think that alone warranted a model ref number change, I also noted winding crown more pronounced from case but this could be just pulled out.
Not sure about the movement ‘ because the photos are not the same size it’s hard to compare.
Also noted the caseback sealing o ring in one and not the other.
I have since found out that the ref 3580 is the predecessor of the 9630 original.
Maybe because the 9630 was limited to a 1000 pieces they changed the reference number.
