Does any one noticed if AP uses different font on the engraving

Hi Guys,

I'm curious to see if any one noticed this, if AP is using different fonts on their engraving on the "J" series and on the buckles




last picture is the one I noticed in all j series

OP
I don’t understand your question?

Are you asking if the fonts legit? Assuming you did the checks and all pics posted above are legit then if that is your question you’ve already answered it?

All were this font:

I’ve seen the last “J” the OP posted but not the first picture. Is the first one a newer piece?

my Ti is J 70,000+ so no, and my old diver was J 00500 range. So AFAIK that is the only J font i am aware of. I also have another J serial right in the middle between the other two (35,000) and its the same font.

Weird... who am i quoting. Its not ash? I quoted the post above #12
