Rolex Fonts

when did rolex last use a font without the elongated R ?

I've come across a few Explorers/pre Explorers from the early 1950's that have it but not many. before 1940 it was more common.

Over the past 60 years there has been hundreds of tiny font changes to most all Rolex watches.But now in the age of the WIS with there high power loups these tiny differences have been noticed
