I think it’s the angle, so it somehow seems they are not aligned

2014 here and lined up as well - my own pic below. Anyone has one where the X does extend past the L and can confirm it isn't due to the angle of the shot?

My first Rolex was a black 16570, never really liked the polar in pictures, and I didn’t need another black one, so despite the better readability of the 216570, particularly the larger GMT hand, I never really spent much time thinking about it. Then a colleague showed me his polar 216570. It looks great in person. I really don’t need another Rolex, but I have asked my AD to let me know when one comes in. Knowing me I will soon be posting an incoming on this thread!

My spacing for the L and the X is different again. My friends dad has the 216570 polar as well and it’s exactly the same. Almost exactly like the black one in the post above. |

Polar Orange Creamsicle
A little variety to draw out the color. Changed to a Barton strap. Although I miss the heft of the bracelet. |

Lovely shot!
I’ve got the same L and X spacing on my 2018 216570. I wonder if they changed the placement/size of the “oyster perpetual date” text at some point? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There are definitely font variations. Thin, sharp/geometric, and bold, are the three I’ve identified. I prefer the bolder versions that came in late 2018 going into 2019. |

I've had this watch for 2 years now. I can't go back to others in my collection. The fit and the size have grown on me. In fact, I want a polar version now. I have a polar 16570 but it looks too small compared with this watch. I think it's the understated nature of this watch that I enjoy the most about it. I picked up this Rubber B on Ebay last week just for the heck of it. Also a great fit and nice occasional alternative.

My 216570 is a 2019 and the X is past the L... should I be worried?!

Mine was just delivered this past week. I can not get over how comfortable it is to wear.
