Are there 3 different dials on 116610?
1. Offset =
2. Centered = 3. Submariner text in bold and slanted = Is that correct? I presume theoretically this is the order of production as well, eg. a 2019 should have Submariner bold and slandted =? I saw this on a youtube video, and casually browsing chrono seems to suggest there are at least 2 dial types on the LN and LV. |

Never seen & heard that. If there are, the differences are so minor that no one really cares.

I was aware of 2 variations; one with the "f" in 1000 ft being taller and the = sign being parallel and the second variation having a shorter "f" with a slanted = sign. I always preferred the first version and do not recall ever seeing a third variation.

The ink is pressed on with an ink filled tamp. That tamp wears, and is replaced, and refilled, etc., several times over the production of dials. Every change results in a variation. As to order of production, again, the dials are made and put into storage. When a watch is built, they call for the parts and whatever part is next on the shelf is used, they do not make a fresh dial for every watch made. The Mark 1, 2, 3, etc., stuff is made up, and for enthusiasts; it may not have any relationship to actual manufacture at all

Interesting to see reponses thus far, I agree this is minutiae and not relevant. But so are Mk1 and Mk2 126610LV dials, but everyone nerds out and is excited to tell each other their opinion is better.

Worth a read on this topic. It’s about the 16610lv variations but the dials are interesting. |
