Good point! There was one other thing I noticed. The bracelet doesn't look original to the case. That's about it though. Otherwise it looks pretty good. ;)

That's actually an ultra-rare limited edition Salvador Dali Persistence of Memory Sub. Nice find.

The 20 and 40 on the bezel look like different font styles to me. Could be a fake.

Date font looks wrong. Could be an aftermarket date wheel.

On the bezel, the paint has too much "orange peel", but it will buff right down.

I would post and inquire on vintage forum.
You never know it could be a one of kind Submariner that one of Rolex watchmakers was supposed to discard.
How did you procure this watch?
Do you have box and/or papers?
How is the time keeping? Within or close to COSC?
Good luck and let us know.
