Check out these 2 pics. The 1000ft=300m is different. One looks further apart than the other. My new sub looks perfectly centered like the first pic. Why would some be different than others.

Steven79 · 25 June 2008, 01:44 PM

hmmmmmmmmm very interesting. I hope someone can fill us in.

my "M" 16613 has it like the first pic.

Marrk · 25 June 2008, 03:50 PM

Mine is a Z-series and it has the "goofy" letter spacing.

What series is yours, hooked?

hooked · 25 June 2008, 03:53 PM

mine is a Z series also

catman911 · 25 June 2008, 06:25 PM

My 14060 is a M-series (M13XXXX) and has the weired extra spacing :(

2careless · 25 June 2008, 09:02 PM

My M36xxxx has the wider spacing too.

walds11 · 25 June 2008, 09:19 PM

I want one, bad!!!

Chappy · 25 June 2008, 10:32 PM

My Z has the wider spacing

Steven79 · 25 June 2008, 11:24 PM

lol now that i think about it... who cares!!! lol

My TT 16613 "M" has the close spacing.

My soon to arrive "M" sub ND has the "wide spacing"

hooked · 26 June 2008, 12:26 AM

I agree I alove them both! I just thought it was wierd. Here is one that sold here with the same spacing as mine.

It is a Z series also. I thought it might be all of the Z series were but evidently that is not the case.

hooked · 26 June 2008, 12:31 AM

Here are a couple more pics, so there are some out there.

Trurolexer · 26 June 2008, 02:01 AM

My Sub ND COSC M serial look like that too.

That's why look more BEAUTIFUL, right?

Which pic does your's look like.

Welshwatchman · 26 June 2008, 02:19 AM

My Z COSC has the wide spacing.

doc_colton · 26 June 2008, 04:08 AM

Is there a reason for the differences or is it just a quality control issue

2careless · 26 June 2008, 05:47 AM

Just for completness, here are the dial printings on the "wider" dial. I do think this difference is just on the batch of the dials.

14060m · 26 June 2008, 09:52 AM

I have a "z" with the wide spacing

JaySS · 26 June 2008, 09:57 AM

Mine Z COSC has the wide spacing too

hooked · 26 June 2008, 01:52 PM

It seems like the wide spacing is more common. I would love to know why they are different.

14060m · 27 June 2008, 09:41 AM

Anyone have any ideas?

Steven79 · 27 June 2008, 09:48 AM

My "M" two tone has the closer spacing.

My "M" Sub ND COSC has the wider spacing.

beats the heck outta me.

Sure...

It's likely that there is more than one manufacturing factory or machinery for dials.

The specifications are probably for font style/size and location rather than exact dimensions and tolerances. There is some variety on dial printing throughout the Rolex line....and probably any other watch maker too.

Lol-x · 28 June 2008, 11:56 PM

Seems to me that someone setting up the dial set out got a bit too happy with the spacebar:
1000ft = _300m instead of
1000ft = 300m or
1000ft=300m

I expect this will be isolated to the batch lot of dials and Rolex will change the spacing in time.

Steven79 · 29 June 2008, 03:47 AM

That means my overly spaced "M" Sub ND cosc will be worth milllions in the future!!!

lol jk, would be great though!

hooked · 29 June 2008, 04:37 AM

I don't know it looks like the normal spaced is harder to find. I wonder how many Rolex will make since they are going to discontinue the model.

timackerman · 7 July 2008, 12:30 PM

My M model has the wider spacing as well

ukangs · 8 July 2008, 10:57 AM

Mine is M32XXXX serial and closely spaced

Parachrom · 25 July 2008, 11:31 AM

Perhaps it was made on a Friday????lol

Lol-x · 25 July 2008, 12:39 PM

I Rolex subject to 'lemon laws' - might be one for the lawyers in the USA.

Then again, Rolex probably has an army of lawyers

Stop, rewind, erase, rewind and play:

As I was saying mighty fine dials on those Subs

rmcarlton · 15 August 2008, 08:03 AM

My LV M48xxxx has the closer spaced version.
