Is there supposed to be a dash between "Swiss Made" on ROLEX GMT II dial?

My track record has stunk today

But isn't there supposed to be a dash at the bottom of the dial between "Swiss Made"?

What are the fonts on the bezel supposed to look like?

Shouldn't be a dash. Bezel fonts are fine - standard serifed version of insert.

It actually looks fine to me, the dash is just the angle of the camera and the 30 minute hash mark.

I added pictures. Are all three font types good?

Serif or sans serif are both fine and were used seemingly randomly alongside eachother, same as the II or || on the dials were on this model. There were a fair few other variations of insert font too through the years, again seeminly used at random within certain years and on certain models.

I think that on the new ceramic bezel there is only one type of font though.

Thanks guys...I feel like the boy that cried wolf today with all these false alarms.
Sorry.
I will count them all as learning experiences.

Your patience and teachings are both appreciated.
