Tudor sub "fat" font m/ft

Hi All,

I have been noticing a discrepancy on the M/FT font on a few Tudor subs, and was wondering if the experienced can explain why some appear to be "fat" whilst others (at least to my eyes) appear much clearer.

I don't believe that this is simply better photography, and am curious to know if this is a red flag or if it has a legitimate explanation.

For example, see below:

Need better photos, those are not sharp enough to see well. They are fuzzy enough on one spot not to see something I expect to see. Also helps to know WHICH Tudor sub you are talking about. But above is not a 7928 or Mercedes 7016, which model later?

7016 & 94110 (there are several variants)

I've never noticed a difference in 79090 or 76100 fonts. Just the snowflakes and the 7016's
