Help on the authenticity of a orange red stella dial

Have an offer from a dealer and got some photos for initial consideration. Please see the four photos including one of the back of the dial. When I compared to the similar dial from HQ Milton which is also attached as the last one, my personal opinion, the alignment of the letters looks the small as well as the font. Also the slight shift of the T SWISS MADE T towards the left is also the same.

The crown looks ok to me.

The paint near the day and date windows looks ok to me.

I do not know enough to comment the case.

The only point that raises my little concern is the print of ROLEX does not look as clear and crisp as the control picture.

REALLY APPRECIATE COMMENTS. THANK ALL!

Really need more pics. The lume looks misaligned on the 8 9 10 11 markers. Possibly the angle. The paint on the windows is superb, the height of the lettering is spot on, font looks good.

Icon7 Serifs

NONE on the Orange "Day-Date" words BUT they exist on your Burgundy Dial Richard ... look Very carefully ...
I was always under the impression that was the first give-away of a fake Dial but am open to correction ...
Thanks

Thanks Richard, I think it is the angle of the photo, the lume pots look right and aligned from other photos.

Thanks kippyhunt for your observation and comments. I agree it looks lack of serifs for the day-date. But did you mean absence on both of the orange dials, including the from HQM? I tend to think it was absent too when looking from the photo with me bare eyes. I have the feeling the fonts look less crisp than it should be, not sure if effect of the photo or other reason.

See if I can get a better photo.

Just found this photo of a white stella from the sold archive of a dealer named mandbwatches. Never heard of a white colored stella.

Look like the letters DAY - DATE do not have serif or have barely invisible serif, correct? Appreciate comments.
